* The normal Short Term FT and Long Term FT parameters should be between +10 and -10 % with 0 % the optimum, with the engine running

at operating temperature.

* An HO2S will not cause this DTC to set without the occurrence of the circuit related HO2S DTCs. Do not replace an HO2S to address this

DTC.

* A fuel system delivery condition causes this DTC to set. Thoroughly inspect all items that cause a rich or a lean condition. Refer to Fuel

System Diagnosis (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General

Diagnostics/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 sensor condition can cause this DTC without setting a MAF DTC. If there is a MAF sensor condition, the MAF sensor parameters

will appear to be within 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. Observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0171, P0172, P0174, or P0175 should not be set.

2. Engine running, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify there are no HO2S DTCs set.

瀚慖f any HO2S DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code

Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle).

3. Ignition ON, observe the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor parameter. The MAP sensor pressure should be within the range specified

for your altitude. Refer to Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control

Systems/Specifications).

瀚慖f not the specified range, refer to DTC P0106 (w/LF1) (See: P Code Charts/P0106).

Note: EVAP purge enablement may cause the FT to be momentarily outside the normal range.

4. Allow the engine to reach operating temperature. With the engine running, observe the affected Long Term FT parameter with a scan tool.

The value should be between -20 % and +20 %.

瀚慖f not the specified range, inspect for the following:

P0171 or P0174

* A mass air flow (MAF) sensor signal that is skewed-If the Short Term FT parameters for both banks changes greater than 20 % when the

MAF sensor is disconnected, refer to DTC P0101 (w/LLT) (See: P Code Charts/P0101)DTC P0101 (LF1) (See: P Code Charts/P0101).

* Fuel contamination-Refer to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (with Special Tool) (See: Powertrain Management/Computers

and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (with

Special Tool))Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (without Special Tool) (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control

Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (without Special

Tool)).

* Missing, restricted, or leaking exhaust components-Refer to Symptoms - Engine Exhaust (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Exhaust

System/Testing and Inspection/Symptoms - Engine Exhaust).

* Malfunctioning fuel injectors-Refer to Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test (w/LLT) (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control

Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test)Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil

Test (w/LF1) (See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Fuel Injector/Testing and Inspection).

* Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, and improper connections

* Insufficient fuel in the tank

* Low fuel pressure-Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and

Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Fuel System Diagnosis).

* Vacuum leaks at the intake manifold, the throttle body, and the injector O-rings.

* The air induction system and the air intake ducts for leaks, or for a missing air filter element
