P0171 - Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 1
How would I log for that so we could see what is going on when the code actually hits?
How to catch when codes are thrown in logging?

That's hard...
For some DTC's you can see the PCM manipulate some parameters (for example for P0420 you can see the commanded AFR do some strange transitions after you coast down to a stop from a freeway run)...
You would need knowledge of what conditions trigger the test to run, and what conditions cause it to fail, and then look for these in a log... the GM serviced manual lists the test trigger conditions and the test fail conditions in detail.
Also you could read the "freeze frame" data out. This is a snapshot of what is happening when the DTC is posted. i.e. speed, map, pedal, rpm, phase of the moon, etc etc. Many items.
Usually for Fuel Trims to post lean it means that the LTFT is hitting max rich and still not getting the mixture into stoich.
Mostly GM seems to set max rich to 1.25 or 25% rich. To post the DTC means that it wants 30 or 35 for example. You get the picture.
It would help if you could view the freeze frame or failure record data. This data is a PCM saved single frame snapshot of the condition when it happened. You could then tell if only one bank was way out of range or the other was imminent of setting a lean code as well. If it appeared as if both banks were very lean, look for something that is shared. This would be fuel pressure, fuel quality, MAF, MAP, etc. If only one bank is lean and the other is OK, check for bank only problems. This could be a leaking intake/exhaust manifold or gasket, O2, or misfire on that side.

Ken,
Those two are ahead of me......Freeze Frame data is saved whenever a DTC sets.
How do you read out that freeze frame data?
Probably should do some logs on his car and watch the LT Fuel Trims. If they are both frequently putting out over 15, then it could be tune or could be some mechanical fuel shortage. If it's isolated to one bank, most likely a leak or bad injector.
From scantool, connect to vehicle, then go Info->History Freeze Frame Data.
Each FF says which DTC it was for.
And here is a FF snapshot (maybe it was the CAT TEMP being 76,000 deg C that popped the DTC?):Originally Posted by joecar

Maybe of some help here:

lol, that's a misinterpretation of that field...
the DTC is P0107...
MAP=10kPa is too low noting that throttle is not closed TP=16.5%
See: http://www.ls2.com/boggs/dtcs/DTC%20P0107.htm
Oh, I see you found how to read DTC's from V2 itself...
