Cylinder 2 Fuel Trim at Max Limit

What does this code mean?

Severity : Medium

P029E means the fuel trim for cylinder 2 has reached its maximum limit. The control module constantly adjusts the amount injected into each cylinder. If it has to add or remove the maximum allowed on cylinder 2 and still cannot balance it, a fault remains on that cylinder.

Symptoms

  • Check engine light on.
  • Rough idle.
  • Possible misfires.
  • Loss of power or higher fuel consumption.

Possible causes

  • Dirty, worn or leaking cylinder 2 injector.
  • Vacuum leak near cylinder 2.
  • Low compression on cylinder 2.
  • Damaged injector wiring or connector.
  • Ignition problem on that cylinder.

Diagnosis and repair

  • Check for related misfire and injector codes.
  • Review per cylinder corrections in live data.
  • Inspect the injector 2 connector and wiring.
  • Test the injector and compression on cylinder 2.
  • Repair or replace the faulty part, then clear the code and road test.
