SYMPTOM
P0172 - 1/1 FUEL SYSTEM RICH

TEST NOTE
This symptom is diagnosed using the test P0171 - 1/1 FUEL SYSTEM LEAN

WHEN MONITORED
With the engine running in closed loop mode and the ambient/battery temperature above 20 °F and altitude < 8000 ft.

SET CONDITION
PCM conducts a test to determine whether fuel system is running too rich. If this happens for 2 trips, MIL illuminates & trouble code is stored. MIL remains ON for more than 1 trip but goes out if conditions that set code are not found on subsequent trips

POSSIBLE CAUSES
- ECT sensor calibration failure
- Engine mechanical problem
- Fuel pressure out of specification
- Upstream O2 sensor heater defect
- Fuel system rich or lean does not reoccur
