P2BEDFuel Control System A Too Rich Bank 1
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- P2BED is the rich counterpart of P2BEC: bank 1 has to remove fuel, but only while the engine is fed by direct injection, which Ford calls fuel system A on its port-plus-direct engines. The Ford monitor runs continuously in closed loop and reacts when long-term trim has pulled more than 25 percent and short-term trim keeps pulling beyond 1 percent for 2 seconds; purge must be off, so a saturated canister is not the reason. A rich bank in all modes is P0172 instead. For the 2018 F-150 2.7 L EcoBoost, Ford bulletin 20-2324 names leaking direct injectors: if, after a warm idle and shutdown, rail pressure decays under 10 psi in less than 30 seconds, all six DI injectors are replaced. Later 2.7 L trucks built up to July 2020 get new PCM software (20-2257, 21-2045).
- What you may notice
- Check engine light on
- Long cranking or rough running right after a hot start
- Fuel smell from the exhaust, higher consumption
- Misfire codes on the same bank in some cases
- Likely causes
- LikelyDirect injector leaking or dribbling on bank 1
- PossiblePCM software fault, Ford reprogramming bulletins
- RareRail pressure above target because of a faulty volume regulator or pressure sensor
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
