DTC P2196 [L3 With TC]: Notes

DTC P2196 [L3 WITH TC] DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

DTC P2196 A/F sensor signal stuck rich
DETECTION CONDITION 
  • The PCM monitors the A/F sensor output when the following conditions are met. If the output is less than 0.85  for 25 s  , the PCM determines that the A/F sensor has a malfunction.

    MONITORING CONDITION 

    • ECT: more than 70°C {158°F} 
    • Engine speed: 1, 000-3, 200 rpm 
    • Charging efficiency: 20-62.5% 
    • Output voltage from the HO2S: 0.7 V or less 

Diagnostic support note 
  • This is an intermittent monitor (HO2S).
  • MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction 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 the first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
  • DTCs are stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • Erratic signal to PCM
    • APP sensor
    • ECT sensor
    • MAF sensor
    • TP sensor
    • VSS signal
    • Related connector or terminal malfunction
    • Related wiring harness malfunction
  • A/F sensor malfunction
  • Fuel injector malfunction
  • Excessive fuel pressure
