CEL P2190

[Karl Owen]

CEL went off over the weekend, Durametric showed a P2190 code.

Car is a 2007 C4S coupe w/ Tip at 69,000 miles. Basically bone stock, serviced at the dealer.

 

After checking with Durametric I opened the hood and noticed that the hose clamp connecting the wide Y hose from the airbox onto the intake manifold came loose. So I though there is a vacuum leak, took off the airbox, replaced the airfilter, cleaned the MAF. noticed a few ml of oil-like fluid inside the throttle body just at the level of the butterfly flap; so I cleaned that up. Tightened oil fill and gas caps. Reconnected everything, cleared the code but now it came back a day later. I have an appointment with the dealer in a few days. 

Any suggestions what I can do to maybe fix this on my own? Many thanks

P2190 Lambda control adaptation FRAU (lower load range) - below limit value

 

Possible fault causes:
- Incorrect main filling signal from hot-film mass air flow meter
- Fuel pressure too high
- Tank vent faulty (does not close completely)

 

My guess is that it will turn out to be the MAF (assuming your vacuum leak is corrected).

Is there a way to check with the Durametric if the MAF works?

You should be able to read the MAF signal voltage with the Durametric software.

Ok, just for the archives, it was a faulty MAF sensor. Thanks JFP.
