DTC P2187:00

Fuel system too lean at idle
DETECTION CONDITION
•  The PCM monitors short term fuel trim (SHRTFT) and long term fuel trim (LONGFT) during closed loop fuel control at idle. If the LONGFT and the sum total of these fuel trims or SHRTFT (MZR 2.5) exceed the preprogrammed criteria, the PCM determines that fuel system is too lean at idle.
Diagnostic support note
•  This is a continuous monitor (fuel system).
•  The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
•  PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle.
•  FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available.
•  The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
