7.53 DTC P2187 or P2189

DTC Descriptors

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:

•

DTC P2187 Fuel Trim System Lean at Idle Bank 1

•

DTC P2189 Fuel Trim System Lean at Idle Bank 2

Circuit Description

The engine control module (ECM) controls the air / fuel metering system to provide the best possible combination of
driveability, fuel economy, and emission control. Fuel delivery is controlled differently during Open and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop, the ECM determines fuel delivery based on sensor signals without heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)
input. During Closed Loop, the HO2S inputs are added and used by the ECM to calculate short and long term fuel trim
fuel delivery adjustments. If the HO2S indicate a lean condition, fuel trim values will be above 0 percent. If the O2S
indicate a rich condition, fuel trim values will be below 0 percent. Short term fuel trim values change rapidly in response
to the HO2S signals. Long term fuel trim makes coarse adjustments to maintain an air / fuel ratio of 14.7:1. If the ECM
detects an excessively lean condition, this DTC sets.

Conditions for Running the DTC

•

Before the ECM can report DTC P2187 or P2189 failed, DTCs P0101, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0133, P0153,
P0221, P0222, P0223, P0336, P0338, P0443, P0458, P0459, P0461, P0462, P0463, P2066, P2067, and P2068
must run and pass.

•

The fuel system is in closed loop.

•

The long fuel trim is active.

•

The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is more than 60° C.

•

The evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge solenoid valve is not enabled.

•

The intake air temperature (IAT) is less than 60° C.

•

The fuel level is more than 11.6 percent.

•

The amount of air flow into the engine is more than 7000 grams.

•

DTC P2187 and P2189 runs continuously once the above conditions are met for at least 300 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

•

The Total Fuel Trim Avg. is more than 40 percent.

•

The LT FT Idle / Decel is more than seven percent.

•

The condition exists for four seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the
diagnostic runs and fails.

The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails,
the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second
consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control
module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

•

The Fuel Trim System circuit DTCs are Type ‘B’ DTCs. Refer to 1.4

Diagnostic Trouble Codes in this Section,

for action taken when a Type ‘B’ DTC sets and conditions for clearing Type ‘B’ DTCs.

•

Use Tech 2 to clear the MIL and the DTC.

Additional Information

•

A fuel delivery condition causes this DTC to set. Thoroughly inspect all items that could cause a rich condition.

•

For an intermittent fault condition, refer to 5.2

Intermittent Fault Conditions in this Section.

•

Since fault condition in a wiring connector may trigger DTCs, always test the connectors related to this diagnostic
procedure for shorted terminals or poor wiring connection before replacing any component. Refer to 8A Electrical -
Body and Chassis for information on electrical fault diagnosis.

•

To assist diagnosis, refer to 3

Wiring Diagrams and Connector Charts in this Section, for the system wiring

diagram and connector charts.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

2

This step determines if there is a current condition.

4

If DTC P2187 and P2189 are set at the same time, this indicates that both banks of the engine are operating lean.
Inspect for items that would cause both banks of the engine to operate lean.

5

Disconnecting the mass air flow (MAF) sensor determines if the MAF sensor signal is skewed. If the Short Term
FT parameter changes more than the specified value, there is a condition with the MAF sensor. A MAF sensor
condition can cause this DTC without setting a MAF DTC. If there is a MAF sensor condition, the MAF sensor
parameters will appear to be within range.

6

A vacuum leak causes DTC P2187 and P2189 to set at the same time. Inspect all areas of the engine for a
vacuum leak. Also inspect the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve for being the correct one for this
application. Make sure that the engine oil fill cap is in place and that it is tight. Verify that the engine oil dip stick is
fully seated.
