Inspect for the following conditions:

−

The vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, and
proper connections.

−

The throttle body and the intake manifold
for vacuum leaks.

−

The crankcase ventilation valve and system
for leaks.

−

The air intake system after the MAF sensor
for vacuum leaks.

−

Contaminated fuel. Refer to 6.5 Alcohol /
Contaminants in Fuel Diagnosis in this
Section.

Lean injectors – refer to 6.2

Fuel

Injector Coil Test in this Section.

−

The engine control ground points for being
clean, tight, and in the correct locations.

−

A high engine oil level condition. A high
engine oil level causes oil residue to form
on the mass air flow (MAF) sensor, causing
a lean indication. The MAF sensor does not
need to be replaced.

−

An engine mechanical condition.

7.52 DTC P2178 or P2180

DTC Descriptors

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:

•

DTC P2178 Fuel Trim System Rich at Cruise or Accel Bank 1

•

DTC P2180 Fuel Trim System Rich at Cruise or Accel 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 indicates a lean condition, fuel trim values will be above 0 percent. If the HO2S
indicates 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 rich condition, this DTC sets.

Conditions for Running the DTC

•

Before the ECM can report DTC P2178 or P2180 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 7,000 grams.

•

DTC P2178 and P2180 run continuously once the above conditions are met for at least 300 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

•

The Total Fuel Trim Avg. is less than –22 percent.

•

The condition exists for 4 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.

Engine Management – V6 – Diagnostics

Page 6C1-2–189

•

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 whether the fault is present.

4

If DTC P2178 and DTC P2180 set at the same time, then both banks of the engine are operating rich. Inspect
items that would cause both banks of the engine to operate rich.

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.
