| DTC Descriptor |
DTC P2096
Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Low Limit
| Circuit Description |
Fuel trim bias is used by the engine control module (ECM) to keep the post catalyst HO2S voltage within a range of 580-665 mV. This allows optimal catalyst efficiency under light load conditions, such as at idle or a steady cruise. The ECM constantly monitors how lean or rich the fuel trim bias is commanded, to determine if the fuel trim bias is greater than a calibrated amount.
| Conditions for Running the DTC |
| • |
Before the ECM can report DTC P2096, DTCs P0030, P0031, P0032, P0130, P0131, P0132, P0133, P0135, P0137, P0138, P0140, P0141, P2232, P2235, P2270, P2271, P2272, and P2273 must run and pass.

| • |
DTC P0100, P0101, P0102, P0103, P0111, P0112, P0113, P0116, P0117, P0118, P0119, P0420, P0443, P0458, or P0459 is not set.
|
|
| • |
The engine speed is 1,080-3,480 RPM.
|
|
| • |
The engine load is 17-20 % and steady.
|
|
| • |
The Closed Loop fuel control is active for greater than 1 s.
|
|
| • |
The front and rear HO2S are in Closed Loop.
|
|
| • |
The calculated exhaust gas temperature is greater than 250°C (482°F).
|
|
| • |
DTC P2096 runs continuously when the conditions above have been met for greater than 200 s.
|
|
| Conditions for Setting the DTC |
The lean correction limit for a condition causing a rich air/fuel mixture has been exceeded for a predetermined amount of time. The condition is present for greater than 4 s or for a cumulative of 30 s.
| Action Taken when the DTC Sets |
DTC P2096 is a Type B DTC.
| Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC |
DTC P2096 is a Type B DTC.
| Diagnostic Aids |
An HO2S will not activate this diagnostic trouble code but circuit related HO2S diagnostic trouble codes occur. Do not replace an HO2S to remedy this diagnostic trouble code.

| Circuit/System Verification |
| 1. |
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool DTC information. Verify there is no other HO2S or fuel trim DTC set.
|
|
| 2. |
If any other HO2S or fuel trim DTC is set, refer to
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle
.
|
|
| 3. |
Verify none of the following conditions exist:
|
|
| • |
Rich fuel injectors-Refer to
Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test
.
|
| • |
High fuel system pressure-Refer to
Fuel System Diagnosis
.
|
| • |
Fuel that is contaminated-Refer to
Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis
.
|
| • |
Fuel saturation of the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister
|
| • |
Stuck open or leaking EVAP purge valve
|
| • |
Restricted exhaust
|
| • |
Incorrect PCV system operation
|
| • |
If you find any of the above conditions, repair as necessary.
|
| 4. |
Refer to
Road Test Warning
.
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. |
