2000 Ford Contour Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
This article is intended to aid in diagnosing DTC’s P0171, P0174, P1130, P1131, P1150, P1151, P2195, or P2197 (system lean or lack of HEGO switches) when a vacuum leak is present. HEGO sensors, MAF sensors, and PCM replacements are not an effective repair when a vacuum leak is causing the above DTC’s.
ACTION
Perform the following inspections/repairs when the above codes are found in memory. Procedure provides instructions on how to make comparisons of the total fuel corrections (using scan tool or equivalent) at idle and high RPM’s to help determine if a vacuum leak is the root cause of the DTC’s.
