P2099-DOWNSTREAM FUEL TRIM SYSTEM 2 RICH
P2099-DOWNSTREAM FUEL TRIM SYSTEM 2 RICH
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
-
When Monitored:
With the engine running in closed loop, the ambient/battery temperature above -7°C (20°F) and altitude below 8500 ft.
-
Set Condition:
The conditions that cause this diagnostic to fail is when the upstream O2 Sensor becomes biased from an exhaust leak, O2 Sensor contamination, or some other extreme operating condition. The downstream O2 Sensor is considered to be protected from extreme environments by the catalyst. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the downstream O2 Sensor feedback control, called downstream fuel trim, to detect any shift in the upstream O2 Sensor target voltage from nominal target voltage. The value of the downstream fuel trim is compared with the lean thresholds. Every time the value exceeds the calibrated threshold, a fail timer is incremented and mass flow through the exhaust is accumulated. If the fail timer and accumulated mass flow exceed the fail thresholds, the test fails and the diagnostic stops running for that trip. If the test fails on consecutive trips, a DTC is set.
POSSIBLE CAUSES |
|---|
| EXHAUST LEAK |
| FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM |
| O2 SENSOR, WIRING, OR CONNECTORS |
| ENGINE MECHANICAL SYSTEM |
| POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) |
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).
| NOTE: | A thorough exhaust leak test must be completed before removing an O2 Sensor or any other part from the exhaust system. Do not remove any parts before an exhaust leak check has been completed. |
| NOTE: | An exhaust leak may cause downstream fuel adaptives to rail out, resulting in a false O2 Sensor failure |
| 1. | Perform the diagnostic procedure for CHECKING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR LEAKS. (Refer to 29 - Non-DTC Diagnostics/Drivability - Gas - Diagnosis and Testing) . |

| 1. | Diagnose and repair any other active component or circuit DTCs before continuing with this procedure. |
| 2. | Turn the ignition on. |
| 3. | With the scan tool, select View DTCs. Copy DTC and Freeze Frame information. |
| 4. | Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature. |
When the engine is operating, do
not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near
the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal
injury.
WARNING:
| NOTE: | Attempt to operate the vehicle under conditions similar to which the DTC was set. |
| NOTE: | It may be necessary to test drive the vehicle within the DTC monitoring conditions in order for this DTC to set. |
| 5. | With a scan tool, select View DTCs. |
