What does code p0174 mean on mass air flow sensor?

What does code p0174 mean on mass air flow sensor?

Most likely the fuel trim would increase depending on the actual problem present. A code P0174 may mean that one or more of the following has happened: •The MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor is dirty or faulty. Note: The use of “oiled” air filters can cause the MAF to become dirty if the filter is over-oiled.

What does p0171 and po174 mean?

A continual low voltage reading indicates a lean fuel mixture, too much oxygen. The optimal ratio is 14.7:1 (air:fuel). When your powertrain/engine control module receives a reading that indicates there’s too much oxygen and the ratio is incorrect, it sends an error code P0171 or P0174.

What does dirty mass air flow sensor code mean?

A common cause for lean condition codes is simply a dirty Mass Air Flow Sensor. Since I have been testing MAF sensors, I thought I should bring up this information.

What does lean fault code p0171 mean on a car?

Your car or truck has either a P0171, P0174 lean fault code or both stored in the pc, these codes derive from Oxygen Sensor (O-2) readings. A lean code or codes suggest that there surely is too-much air in the exhaust.
