DTC P2198

Lack of HO2S-21 switch, sensor indicates rich

DETECTION CONDITION

• The PCM monitors HO2S-21 signal switching during over lean condition at PCM terminal 87. If the PCM no longer detects switching for calibrated amount of time, the PCM determines that HO2S-21 cannot switch from rich to lean.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Electrical components malfunction
- Short to power supply circuit in wiring between HO2S-21 terminal 4 and PCM terminal 87
- Water in harness connector
- Corrosion or poor mating terminals and wiring
- Damaged HO2S-21
- Damaged PCM
• Fuel system malfunction
- Excessive fuel pressure
- Leak in fuel injectors
- Leaking in fuel pressure regulator
- Vapor recovery system
• Intake-air system malfunction
- Vacuum leaks
- PCV system malfunction
- Improperly seated engine oil dipstick
• EGR system malfunction
- Leaking gasket
- EGR valve stuck
- Vacuum leaking at EGR valve diaphragm or EGR solenoid valve
• Base engine malfunction
- Oil overfill
- Cam timing
- Cylinder compression

Warning
• Read the following warnings before performing the fuel system services:
- Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injuries and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel.
- Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete "BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION" and "AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION" decided in this manual.
Caution
• Disconnecting/connecting quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly cause damage to fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean quick release connector joint area before disconnecting/connecting, and make sure that it is free of foreign materials.

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED
• Has FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2
VERIFY REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
• Verify related service repair information availability.
• Is any related repair information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
3
INDETIFY TRIGGER DTC FOR FEEZE FRAME DATA
• Is DTC P2198 on FREEZE FRAME DATA?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to FREEZE FRAME DATA DTC inspection.
4
PERFORM VISUAL INSPECTION
Note
• Address all Continuous Memory Ignition and Misfire DTCs, before KOER DTCs.
• Check visually for following:
- Intake-air for leaks, obstructions and damage.
- Air cleaner element, air cleaner housing for blockage.
- Integrity of the PCV system
- Vacuum leaks
• Were any concerns found during inspection?
Yes
Repair or replace malfunctioning part, then go to Step 41.
No
Go to the next step.
5
CHECK CONDITIONS RELATED TO MAF SENSOR
Note
• Most weather service reports are a local barometric pressure that has been corrected to sea level. However, the BARO PID reports the actual barometric pressure for altitude the vehicle is being diagnosed in Local weather conditions (high or low pressure areas) will change the local barometric pressure by several inches of mercury.
• Connect the WDS or equivalent to DLC.
• Start the engine.
• Access the BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2 and MAF V PIDs on fully warmed-up engine.
• Check that the BARO PID is approximately the same as the barometric pressure reading for the location, day and altitude the vehicle is being diagnosed at.
- BARO PID values in PCM memory require updating at high throttle openings. If vehicle is driven down from higher altitudes for diagnosing, complete three or four heavy accelerations at greater than half-throttle to allow BARO PID to update.
- BARO PID must be within +/- 6Hz. (+/- 2 in.Hg.) of the altitude value in Barometric Pressure Reference Chart (at Training Manual).
- Make BARO PID comparisons to Barometric Pressure Reference Chart or diary airport barometric pressure reports, if available.
• Check that the LONGFT1 and LONGFT2 PIDs for all injector banks at idle is not more negative than -12%.
• Check that the MAF V PID at idle and neutral is not greater then 30% of the normal MAF V listed in Section 01-40, Reference values (or not greater than 1.1 V).
• Are two of the above three check okay?
Yes
Go to Step 7.
No
Go to the next step.
6
CHECK TO ISOLATE MAF SENSOR FROM LEAN DELIVEABILITY OCCURRENCE
Note
• Due to increasingly stringent emission/OBD requirements, a fuel system DTC on some vehicles will be generated without a noticeable drivability concern with or without MAF sensor disconnected. Under these conditions, if the BARO_V, LONGFT1, LONGFT2 and MAF PID indicates a MAF sensor concern, replace the MAF sensor.
• Disconnect MAF sensor.
• Start the engine.
• Drive the vehicle.

Yes
Replace MAF sensor, then go to Step 41.
No
Go to the next step.
