Exhaust warning light - Scanned with VCDS
« on: March 20, 2014, 07:21:50 pm »
Hi everyone,

My exhaust warning light came on the other day and have plugged it into a VCDS and got the following report:

Does anyone know what might be causing it?

Noticed this but what mods you got?

 P2188=ECM-262A Long-term fuel trim Lower limit
Condition

The control module receives information from the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) about the fuel / air mixture when idling at both the lower and upper part-load range. If the fuel / air mixture deviates from λ=1, the short-term fuel trim will compensate for this by adjusting the injection time so that λ=1 is achieved. When the short-term fuel trim makes an adjustment, the integrator median must be adjusted by the long-term trim. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) ECM-262A will be stored when the long-term trim must be adjusted almost to maximum in the idle range.


Substitute value
none


Possible source

Upper limit:
-intake air leakage
-exhaust system air leakage
-defective heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)

Lower limit:
-intake air leakage
-high fuel pressure
-leaking injectors
-defective mass air flow (MAF) sensor
-contaminated engine oil
-oil level too high
-defective heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)

Thanks for the reply,

I dont have any mods, car is stock. (boring i know!)

I dont know if it applies but i have notices that it splutters sometimes when i start it up which is a bit unusual, i will try and film it so i can upload a video of it doing it.

Would this indicate any of the things you mentioned?

I had the same light come up and my car was idling a little rough. I found it was the PCV Valve. it's quite easy to check and replace if need be. 

Sorry can't help with reading the logs though.

I've now got the problem of the car running fine but the light still stays on, I'm not sure if it will clear itself or I need to get the codes cleared.

Forget the MAF.  Check the pipework to your PCV, and the actual PCV itself.

If it was the MAF, then other additional codes would be stored.

replace PCV and PCV gasket,

Additionally you also have the P0441 error.
Replace your N80 valve and the superseded hose as well.
There after don't over fill your tank.
