Supersession Statement
This PI was superseded to update model list. Please discard PIP4964C.
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition / Concern
Some customers may complain of an SES light with no drivability concerns.
The technician will nd a DTC P2097 or P2099 set.
Recommendations / Instructions
The most common concerns we have seenhas been related to fuel injectors.
This should be caught on initial diagnosisfor these codes.
Perform injector balance or AFIT testprior to going further.
NOTE: Fuel injector balance test not available on 2009 Acadia, Outlook, Enclave andraverse.
T
If normal SI diagnostics does not leadto a resolution for this code, then look for a small leak in the
exhaust, usually at the outlet to the engine converter
.
This leak will allow air to be pulledinto the exhaust and cause a false lean concern at the post O2
sensor.To diagnose this leak we recommend applying air to the rear of the downstream converter or
to the tail pipe on single systems @ 5psi to 8 psi.
Apply a soapy solution to the gask
et areas and the O2 boss.
Leaks in these areas that will causethe code will be larger bubbles.
Foam leaks are considered normal.
DO NOT APPLY FULL SHOP AIR as converter and engine damage can result.
If available CAC leak tester J-46091-1and adapter can be used with a modification using wire ties to
hold it to the pipe.
Or GE-52250 - Tool For Leak Testing Charge Air Cooler / Turbo System will work also.
If a leak is found in these areas alongwith gasket replacement, filing themating surface of the pipe
is suggested.
If no leaks are found at this point youshould look for a mechanical valvetrain concern such as a
sticking valve, or a lifter follower off the camshaft outof place.
This may or may not cause a misfire.
Warranty Information

y be one of several repairs described above.

, please use the appropriate warranty labor operation based on
