P231FCylinder 12 Air-Fuel Ratio Imbalance Adjustment At Limit During Balance

P231F indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an air-fuel ratio imbalance on cylinder 12 that is severe enough to reach the adjustment limit during a balance test. The computer tried to equalize power output across all cylinders and found that cylinder 12 cannot be corrected any further, meaning it is contributing unevenly to engine operation.
