System Too Lean At Off Idle Right Bank
Table of contents
P2177 MAZDA Possible Causes
- Intake air leaks
- Faulty front heated oxygen sensor
- Ignition misfiring
- Faulty fuel injectors
- Incorrect fuel pressure
- Lack of fuel
- Faulty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
- Incorrect Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) hose connection
How do I fix code P2177 MAZDA?
Check the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector’s pins.
Tech Notes
- The engine is “too Lean” when the O2 sensors detect more air than fuel during combustion. There are two likely issues for a lean system problem. One of the problems could be unmetered air is entering the engine, in other words, there is an air intake leak after the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. The other problem could be clogged fuel injectors. Fuel additives sometimes will fix clogged fuel injectors.
Cost of diagnosing the P2177 MAZDA code
The cost of diagnosing the P2177 MAZDA code is 1.0 hour of labor. The auto repair labor rates vary by location, your vehicle’s make and model, and even your engine type. Most auto repairs shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
Possible Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
P2177 MAZDA Description
With the Air/Fuel Mixture Ratio Self-Learning Control, the actual mixture ratio can be brought closer to the theoretical mixture ratio based on the mixture ratio feedback signal from the heated oxygen sensors 1. The Engine Control Module (ECM) calculates the necessary compensation to correct the offset between the actual and the theoretical ratios.
In case the amount of the compensation value is extremely large (The actual mixture ratio is too lean.), the ECM judges the condition as the fuel injection system malfunction and light up the MIL (2 trip detection logic).
