Common Next Steps

Turn the code into the next check.

Review fuel trims

Compare trims at idle, 2500 RPM, and cruise before pricing sensors.

Add Inspection
Inspect vacuum leaks

Check intake boots, PCV hoses, and post-MAF leak paths.

Open Workflow
Check MAF sensor

Inspect MAF contamination and airflow data after intake leaks are considered.

Add Inspection
Inspect intake tubing

Look for cracked ducts, loose clamps, and unmetered air after the MAF.

Code Overview

Upstream O2/A-F sensor signal stuck lean (bank 1).

Common Causes

  • Vacuum/exhaust leak
  • Fuel delivery issue
  • Sensor fault
  • Injector/pressure issue

Symptoms

  • Lean surge or hesitation
  • Poor cold-start fueling correction
  • High positive fuel trims
  • Check engine light with fuel-control symptoms

Diagnostic Steps

  1. Check fuel trims
  2. Inspect vacuum/exhaust leaks
  3. Verify sensor response on scan tool
  4. Check fuel pressure if needed
  5. Review fuel trims at idle and cruise
  6. Inspect for intake or exhaust leaks before replacing the sensor
  7. Verify upstream sensor response on the scan tool
  8. Check fuel pressure and injector performance if the lean condition is real
