P2193

System Too Lean at Higher Load

Moderate severity

What it means

Bank 2 fuel trim hits the lean limit only at higher engine load. Pattern points to a fuel-supply restriction — failing fuel pump, blocked filter, or weak injectors — rather than a vacuum leak (which would dominate at idle).

Is it safe to drive?
