DTC P0172:00: Notes

DTC P0172:00	Fuel trim system too rich
DETECTION CONDITION	The PCM monitors short term fuel trim (SHRTFT) and long term fuel trim (LONGFT) values when closed loop fuel control. If the LONGFT and the sum total of these fuel trims or SHRTFT exceed preprogrammed criteria, the PCM determines that the fuel system is too rich. Diagnostic support note This is a continuous monitor (fuel system). The check engine light 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 first drive cycle. FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available. The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
