* Splits, kinks, or improper connections at the vacuum hoses.
* The fuel system is operating lean. Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis (LF1 China) (See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air
Induction/Fuel Pump/Testing and Inspection/Fuel System Diagnosis (China))Fuel System Diagnosis (LF1 Except China) (See:
Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Fuel Pump/Testing and Inspection/Fuel System Diagnosis (Except China))Fuel

* Vacuum leaks at the intake manifold or throttle body
* Leaking crankcase ventilation system
* The engine control module grounds for being clean, tight, and in the correct locations
* A high engine oil level condition-A high engine oil level causes oil residue to form on the mass air flow sensor, causing a lean indication.
The MAF sensor does not need to be replaced.
* Vacuum leaks that only affect one bank of the engine-For example, the intake manifold, the injector O-rings.
* Lean injectors-Refer to Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test (LAU) (See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Fuel
Injector/Testing and Inspection/Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test)Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test (LF1, LFW) (See: Powertrain
Management/Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Fuel Injector/Testing and Inspection/Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test).
* Missing, restricted, or leaking exhaust components-Refer to Symptoms - Engine Exhaust (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Exhaust
System/Testing and Inspection/Symptoms - Engine Exhaust).
* The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) is installed securely and the electrical connector is not contacting the exhaust system.
* An engine mechanical condition-Refer to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Testing and
Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Symptoms - Engine Mechanical).
4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the
conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

- Fuel Trim System Rich at Idle
Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM) controls the air/fuel metering system in order to provide the best possible combination of driveability, fuel
economy, and emission control. Fuel delivery is controlled differently during Open and Closed Loop. During Open Loop, the ECM determines fuel
delivery based on sensor signals without heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) input. During Closed Loop, the HO2S inputs are added and used by the
ECM to calculate short and long term fuel trim fuel delivery adjustments. If the HO2S indicate a lean condition, fuel trim values will be above 0
percent. If the O2S indicate a rich condition, fuel trim values will be below 0 percent. Short term fuel trim values change rapidly in response to the
HO2S signals. Long term fuel trim makes coarse adjustments in order to maintain an air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1.
