DTC P2096

Target A/F feedback system too lean

DETECTION CONDITION

• The PCM monitors the target A/F fuel trim when under the target A/F feedback control. If the fuel trim is more than the specification, the PCM determines that the target A/F feedback system is too lean.
Diagnostic support note
• This is a continuous monitor (Fuel system).
• The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunctioning 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 is available.
• Are any DTCs is stored in the PCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Leakage exhaust gas
• HO2S malfunction
• IAT sensor malfunction
• ECT sensor malfunction
• Air suction in intake-air system
• A/F sensor malfunction
• MAF sensor malfunction
• Insufficient fuel line pressure
• Fuel pump unit malfunction
• Leakage fuel
• Improper operation ignition system
• Insufficient engine compression
• Fuel injector malfunction
• PCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA AND DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS HAS BEEN RECORDED
• Has FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Record the FREEZE FRAME on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2
VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
• Verify related Service Information availability.
• Is any related Service Information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service information.
If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
3
VERIFY RELATED PENDING CODE OR STORED DTC
• Turn the ignition switch off then to the ON position (Engine off).
• Verify the related PENDING CODE or stored DTCs.
• Is the DTC P2177 or P2187 also present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
Go to the next step.
4
IDENTIFY TRIGGER DTC FOR FREEZE FRAME DATA
• Is the DTC P2096 on FREEZE FRAME DATA?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to FREEZE FRAME DATA DTC inspection.
5
VERIFY CURRENT INPUT SIGNAL STATUS OF HO2S
• Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
• Start the engine and warm it up completely.
• Access O2S12 PID.
• Read O2S12 PID under the following accelerator pedal condition (in NEUTRAL).

- More than 0.45 V when accelerator pedal is suddenly depressed (rich condition).

- Less than 0.45 V just after release of accelerator pedal (lean condition)

• Is the PID normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Visually inspect for the exhaust gas leakage between the TWC and HO2S.
• If there is no leakage, replace the HO2S.
Then go to Step 17.
6
VERIFY CURRENT INPUT SIGNAL STATUS
• Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
• Verify the following PIDs.
- ECT
- MAF
- TP
- VSS
• Are the PIDs normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Inspect the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
Then go to Step 17.
7
VERIFY CURRENT INPUT SIGNAL STATUS UNDER FREEZE FRAME DATA CONDITION
• Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
• Verify the following PIDs under the FREEZE FRAME DATA condition.
- ECT
- MAF
- TP
- VSS
• Are the PIDs normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Inspect the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
Then go to Step 17.
8
VERIFY CURRENT INPUT SIGNAL STATUS OF A/F SENSOR
• Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
• Start the engine and warm it up completely.
• Access O2S11 PID.
• Read O2S11 PID under following accelerator pedal condition (in NEUTRAL).

- - 1.0 -1.0 A when idle.

- More than 0.25 mA just after release of accelerator pedal (lean condition).

• Is the PID normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Visually inspect for the exhaust gas leakage between the exhaust manifold and A/F sensor.
• If there is no leakage, replace A/F sensor.
Then go to Step 17.
9
VERIFY CURRENT INPUT SIGNAL STATUS OF MAF SENSOR
• Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
• Start the engine.
• Access the MAF PID.
• Verify that the MAF PID changes quickly according to engine speed.
• Is the PID normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the MAF/IAT sensor, then go to Step 17.
10
INSPECT INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM FOR EXCESSIVE AIR SUCTION
• Visually inspect the hose in intake-air system for looseness, cracks or damages.
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part, then go to Step 17.
No
Go to the next step.
11
INSPECT FUEL LINE PRESSURE
• Perform the "FUEL LINE PRESSURE INSPECTION".
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 13.
12
INSPECT FUEL SYSTEM FOR FUEL LEAKAGE
• Visually inspect fuel leakage in the fuel system.
• Is there fuel leakage?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part, then go to Step 17.
No
Replace the fuel pump unit, then go to Step 17.
13
INSPECT IGNITION COIL WIRING HARNESSES
• Inspect the ignition coil related wiring harness condition (intermittent open or short circuit) for all cylinders.
• Are wiring harness conditions normal?
