    What Does P0175 Mean?

    P0175 indicates that the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects too much fuel and not enough oxygen in the air fuel ratio (AFR). This code will set when the ECM can not compensate for the amount of air or fuel required to return the air fuel ratio back to the set parameters.

    For gasoline powered engines, the most fuel efficient and cost efficient air fuel ratio is 14.7:1, or 14.7 parts air and 1 part fuel. This ratio also creates the maximum amount of power during the combustion process.

    The combustion process is very simple yet fragile. In most vehicles, there are four to eight combustion chambers within the engine. Air, gasoline, and spark are all delivered to the combustion chambers to create an “explosion” (better known as combustion). The spark is delivered to each combustion chamber a nanosecond after the air and fuel reaches the chamber to ignite it. There is a piston in each combustion chamber; each piston is forced down by the combustion at a rapid rate, and at different times.

    The difference in the timing of each piston is determined by the air fuel ratio and the timing of the engine. Once the piston is down, it must return to the up position in time for its next combustion process. The piston is forced back up little by little each time one of the other cylinders undergoes its own combustion process because they are all connected to a rotating assembly known as the crankshaft. It’s almost like a juggling effect; at any given time, one piston is on its way up, while another one is at its peak, and another piston is on its way down.

    If something in this process goes out of sequence, internal engine components will work harder and work against each other, or the engine may even not run at all. In the case of code P0175, there will likely be higher gas consumption, as the ECM has detected that there is too much fuel being used.

    What are the common causes of P0175 ?

    Depending on year, make, and model, DTC P0175 may have number of causes. Here are some of the most common.
    • Toyota / Lexus – Contaminated MAF, usually with aftermarket filters. The reasons for this correlation aren’t clear, but many Toyota hotwire MAFs are particularly susceptible to contamination. Cleaning isn’t usually successful. Discard the old MAF and engine air filter. Clean the air box and install the new MAF and air filter, preferably using OEM parts, making sure that the air box seals properly.
    • Oiled Filters – Some engines with a lot of blow-by, whether by design or age, and may allow oil into the air box, and subsequently, the air filter and MAF. Also, some aftermarket air filters require oil treatment for proper operation, which some owners may be overzealous in applying. In either case, excessive oil can contaminate the MAF, leading to skewed air flow measurements. Also, check that the PCV and tubing are in proper working order.
    • Dirt – In an ideal world, your engine bay would be spotless. Over time, however, dirt and grime builds up, and it can easily find its way into the engine and control systems. Older and neglected vehicles can easily suffer MAF contamination, for excessive dust and dirt or a poorly-sealed air box.
    • Leaking Fuel Injector – Age or contamination may cause a fuel injector to leak, dumping fuel into the cylinder even when not commanded. Check the oil for fuel smell, which is a good indicator of fuel leakage.
    • Leaking Fuel Pressure Regulator – Some vehicles, with vacuum-operated fuel pressure regulators, have been known to leak internally, passing unmetered fuel directly into the intake.

    What are the symptoms of P0175 ?

    Symptoms include poor acceleration, engine stall under acceleration or at idle, a no start condition, rough engine idle, an engine misfire, or a surge upon acceleration.

    How do you troubleshoot P0175 ?

    Check to make sure they are not burnt or corroded. If in doubt, get some Electrical Contact cleaner at any parts store if cleaning of the terminals is needed. Look for missing ground strap or a rusty ground where the fuel tank is grounded to the frame. Check for damage to the wiring harness connector.
