Fault Family System: Powertrain (P-Codes) 12 SAE Codes

Fuel Trim Rich

Diagnostic & Technical Explanation
Code P0172 (System Too Rich Bank 1) sets when the ECM must remove more fuel than the calibrated limit allows to correct a rich condition on the indicated bank. Leading causes are a leaking fuel injector, a stuck-open fuel pressure regulator, a fouled MAF sensor overreporting airflow, or a failing fuel pressure sensor.

These 12 diagnostic trouble codes share one detection mechanism and one repair path, which is why MechanicDB groups them into a single authored fault family rather than repeating the same explanation 12 times.
