P2194 — System Too Rich at Higher Load (Bank 2)

Bank 2 fuel trim hits the rich limit only at higher load. Often excessive fuel pressure, a stuck-closed MAF reading low, or coolant temperature signal stuck cold causing over-fuelling.

General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.
