DTC P2177
Fuel Trim System Lean at Cruise or Acceleration
DTC P2187
Fuel Trim System Lean at Idle
| Circuit Description |
The engine control module (ECM) controls the air/fuel metering system in order 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 delivery adjustments. If the HO2S indicate a lean condition, fuel trim values will be above 0 %. If the HO2S indicate a rich condition, fuel trim values will be below 0 %. Short term fuel trim values change rapidly in response to the HO2S signals. Long term fuel trim makes coarse adjustments in order to maintain an air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1.

The Total Fuel Trim Avg. is greater than 40 %, or the long term fuel trim Idle/Decel is greater than 6 %. Either condition exists for 4 s or for a cumulative of 30 s.| Action Taken When the DTC Sets |
DTCs P2177 and P2187 are Type B DTCs.
| Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC |

| Diagnostic Aids |
| • |
A fuel system delivery condition causes this DTC to set. Thoroughly inspect all items that cause a lean condition. Refer to
Fuel System Diagnosis
.
|
|
| • |
Any un-metered air into the engine causes this DTC to set. Thoroughly inspect all areas of the engine for vacuum leaks.
|
|
| • |
A MAF reading problem can cause this diagnostic trouble code to be activated without a MAF related diagnostic trouble code being activated. If there is a problem with a MAF gauge, the parameters for the MAF gauge will appear within the range.
|
|
| • |
Inspect the air filter 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.

| Circuit/System Verification |
| 1. |
Check the DTC Info with a scan tool. Diagnostic trouble codes P2177 or P2187 must not be activated.
|
|
| 2. |
If there are other DTCs set besides DTC P2177 or P2187 refer to
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle
to diagnosis the applicable DTC.
|
|
| 3. |
Ignition ON, observe the BARO pressure parameter and compare the reading on the scan tool to the barometric pressure table. Refer to
Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure
.
|
|
| 4. |
If the BARO pressure is not within the range specified for your altitude, refer to
DTC P2227, P2228, or P2229 (LAU)
.
|
|
| 5. |
Engine at normal operating temperature, observe the Average Total Fuel Trim parameter with a scan tool. The Average Total Fuel Trim should be between -22 to +23 %.
|
|
| 6. |
If not within the specified range, verify none of the following conditions exist:
|
|
| • |
A mass air flow sensor signal that is skewed-If the Short Term Fuel Trim parameter changes greater than 20 % when the MAF sensor is disconnected, refer to
DTC P0101
.
|
| • |
The air intake system after the MAF sensor for vacuum leaks
|
| • |
Fuel contamination-Refer to
Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis
and
Fuel System Cleaning
.
|
| • |
Splits, kinks, or improper connections at the vacuum hoses.
|
| • |
The fuel system is operating lean. Refer to
Fuel System Diagnosis
.
|
| • |
Vacuum leaks at the intake manifold or throttle body
|
| • |
Leaking crankcase ventilation system
|
| • |
The engine control module grounds 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 sensor, causing a lean indication. The MAF sensor does not need to be replaced.
|
| • |
Vacuum leaks that only affect one bank of the engine-For example, the intake manifold, the injector O-rings.
|
| • |
Lean injectors-Refer to
Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test
.
|
| • |
Missing, restricted, or leaking exhaust components-Refer to
Symptoms - Engine Exhaust
.
|
| • |
The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) is installed securely and the electrical connector is not contacting the exhaust system.
|
| • |
An engine mechanical condition-Refer to
Symptoms - Engine Mechanical
.
|
| 7. |
Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
