Ошибка P0171 Mitsubishi — cлишком бедная смесь (bank 1)

Что означает код P0171

Код ошибки P0171 означает, что топливная система первой головы (bank 1 ) автомобиля Мицубиси плохо работает или на этой стороне двигателя имеется потеря герметичности впускного тракта. Происходит обеднение топливной смеси — двигатель получает слишком мало топлива и много воздуха.

Каковы причины кода P0171?

Причинами ошибки P0171 могут быть:

• Неисправный регулятор давления топлива автомобиля Mitsubishi
• Топливный насос не создает нужного давления
• Забитый топливный фильтр автомобиля Mitsubishi
• Неисправный блок управления двигателем
• Подсос воздуха
• Неисправный инжектор(ы)
• Неисправный кислородный датчик автомобиля Mitsubishi
• Неисправный датчик массового расхода воздуха

Каковы симптомы кода P0171?

• Потеря мощности
• Горит индикатор «Check Engine»
• Не ровная работа двигателя автомобиля Mitsubishi. Плавают обороты
• Двигатель с трудом заводится
• Двигатель не заводится

Если эта ошибка в течении длительного времени не устраняется и автомобиль Мицубиси эксплуатируется на обедненной топливно-воздушной смеси это приведет к повреждению каталитического нейтрализатора (катализатора).

Как диагностируется ошибка P0171?

Предполагая, что никаких других кодов неисправностей не существует, можно  диагностировать код P0171, проверяя двигатель на наличие утечек вакуума с помощью вакуумметра и проверив давление в топливной системе с помощью манометра.

Вероятнее всего причина ошибки будет найдена во время этих двух тестов. Если причина находится не в топливной системе и не в лишнем воздухе, то на следующем шаге нужно проверить MAF-сенсор автомобиля  Mitsubishi (датчик массового расхода воздуха) и датчики кислорода (лямбда-зонд).

Если все эти тесты были выполнены, и никаких проблем не найдено, то вероятнее всего неисправность находится в блоке управления двигателем Мицубиси.

One of the most common trouble codes with the Mitsubishi Outlander is P0171. It indicates that your Mitsubishi Outlander is running lean on the bank one side.  It’s the most common air/fuel mixture-related code.

It’s not the most complicated OBDII trouble code to diagnose. It is also one of the most common codes.

The most common causes of P0171 are a bad Oxygen sensor, a vacuum leak, or a dirty MAF sensor.

P0171 Definition: Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 1

P0171 is a generic code, meaning it has the same definition for the Mitsubishi Outlander as any other vehicle.

Fuel Trim System

The ideal air/fuel ratio is 14.7:1 (14.7 parts air to one part fuel).  Your vehicle’s fuel trim system manages the air/fuel ratio and adjusts it when the powertrain control module determines it’s necessary (it can range anywhere from 12.0:1 for power and 16.0:1 for economy).

• O2 sensors– Oxygen sensors meter the exhaust and report the oxygen content to the powertrain control module.
• MAF or MAP sensor– Depending on your Outlander’s model year, it can have a mass airflow sensor or manifold absolute pressure sensor (or both).  Their job is to meter the air as it enters the engine.
• Powertrain control module– Takes info from these sensors and uses it to adjust the air/fuel ratio.

System Lean

The code is thrown when the oxygen sensors detect the air-fuel mixture is “lean” (too much air or not enough fuel).

The vehicle’s PCM will add more fuel to the mixture to bring the air-fuel mixture where it needs to be for optimal combustion. It also throws the code P0171 to let you know it has done this.

Bank 1

Bank 1 is the side of your Mitsubishi Outlander’s engine with the first cylinder.  You only need to concern yourself with this if there are two cylinder heads.  If your vehicle has an inline four or six, there’s only one bank of cylinders.

Outlander P0171 Code Symptoms

There aren’t usually any drivability issues associated with P0171. For most people, the first sign that anything is wrong is the check engine light.

• Mileage- may or may not suffer depending on how much the air-fuel mixture has changed.
• Misfire– If the air-fuel mixture has gotten too far from the 14.7:1 sweet spot, this can cause your Mitsubishi Outlander to misfire.
• Idle Issues– With the air/fuel mixture altered, the vehicle can idle erratically as the computer compensates to keep the engine running.

The P0171 code is thrown when something has caused there to be too much air or not enough fuel.  With that in mind, here are the most common causes:

Vacuum Leaks

Your Outlander’s MAF and/or MAP sensors meter the air as it enters the engine.  If there is an air leak after the MAF sensor, it’s not being measured as it enters the intake, which increases the air in the air-to-fuel ratio.

One of the most common causes for the P0171 code to show is a vacuum leak.  Listen and look around your Mitsubishi Outlander’s engine bay to see if you can find the vacuum leak. 

Look at any hoses or sensors that connect to the intake manifold.  Verify that they aren’t cracked and that they are tightly secured.  Listen for unusual noises.

The linked YouTube video is a phenomenal resource on how to find a vacuum leak.

Oxygen Sensor

The P0171 code is thrown when the bank one sensor one O2 sensor reports that your Outlander’s engine is running lean.  

The sensor on or right after the exhaust manifold is typically the sensor that reports the lean condition.  If it is malfunctioning, it can cause a false P0171 code.

Swap Test

If your Outlander has two cylinder banks, you can swap the O2 sensors on each side.  

1. Clear your codes. 
2. Swap the bank one sensor one oxygen sensor with it’s bank two counterpart.
3. Start your vehicle and wait for the check engine light to come on.
4. Once you pull the codes, if it changes to P0174, that’s enough evidence that a faulty O2 sensor was causing P0171 in your vehicle.

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

The mass air flow sensor calculates the volume of air entering the engine. If it is malfunctioning, your vehicle’s PCM won’t know how much air is entering the engine.  When this happens, it can cause your Mitsubishi Outlander’s engine to run rich or lean.  If it were running rich, you’d get P0172.

Cleaning the MAF or MAP Sensor

Your Outlander’s MAF sensor is covered with tiny electrodes that can detect how much air is passing through it. Unfortunately, it can’t read the air properly if it gets dirty.

Local parts stores sell dedicated MAF sensor cleaners.  If you use anything else to clean it, you risk damaging its sensitive electronics.

Fuel Injectors

P0171 indicates that your Mitsubishi Outlander is either getting too much air or not enough fuel. A clogged or damaged fuel injector will cause the air-fuel mixture to lean out in one specific cylinder.  You may see a cylinder misfire code or fuel injector-specific code with P0171.

If you have one or more fuel injectors that have gone bad, that can cause the air/fuel mixture to lean out.

Fuel Pressure Regulator or Fuel Pump

With P0171, there’s possibly not enough gas entering the combustion chambers.  This can happen if the fuel pressure regulator isn’t allowing enough fuel to get to the fuel rail.

A faulty fuel pump behaves exactly the same way. The only way to know why the fuel pressure is too low and causing P0171 in your Mitsubishi Outlander is to trace it back from the fuel rail and see where the pressure starts weakening.

Exhaust Leak

An exhaust leak will change the amount of oxygen the B1S1 O2 sensor picks up.  When this happens, it’ll report a false lean condition.  You’ll likely hear the exhaust leak.

Air Filter

While it’s not the most common reason to throw the P0171 code, a clogged air filter certainly can cause it.

Possible P0171 Fixes

Here are the steps you can take to diagnose P0171 in the Mitsubishi Outlander.

1. Check for other trouble codes. They will likely point you to what part of your vehicle is malfunctioning.
2. Listen for an exhaust leak or vacuum leak within the engine. The exhaust leak should be close to the B1S1 O2 sensor.
3. Inspect all of the hoses that connect to the intake manifold, as well as the intake hose in front of the throttle body.
4. Check to see if the air filter is dirty.
5. Test to see if the intake manifold gasket has a leak.
6. Test the fuel pressure.
7. Verify fuel trim on a quality scanner.

Common Questions

Is P0171 a breakdown risk?

It is rare that a vehicle breaks down by itself when P0171 is the only code. Still, you don’t want to ignore it. Doing so may eventually damage your Outlander’s catalytic converter.

My Outlander has P0171 and P0174 together; what does that mean?

If your Mitsubishi Outlander has P0171 and P0174 together, it rules out a few problems and provides anecdotal evidence to help narrow the problem.

• It’s likely that your Outlander’s O2 sensors are working fine since they are both reporting the vehicle is running lean.
• One bad fuel injector will not make a lean code appear on BOTH sides of the engine, so you can rule those out.
• It’s unlikely there’s an exhaust leak.
• It leaves the MAF (or MAP) sensor, vacuum leak, air filter, or fuel pressure on the table as possible causes since they would equally affect both sides of your Outlander’s engine.

Is P0171 difficult to repair?

P0171 in the Mitsubishi Outlander is not difficult to repair. On the other hand, it is difficult to diagnose. Looking up any other codes that appeared with it can save time.
