Hello,

You have listed the vehicle with a 1.6L however on that year the Cruze (in the US) had 1.4L or 1.8L engine.

The code P2096: Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Low Limit

This can be triggered due to a number of reasons. Could be simple a restricted air intake duct, dirty throttle body. It can also be due to excessive fuel pressure.

I have attached the trouble shooting steps for the code below.
Follow those steps as it can help you determine the issue.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
