Hi
I have 2001 Mazda Mpv with error code po304. I replaced the sparks and the coil, and checked the wires. I concern that I am going to pay more and more money with no results. I red your comments and it looks like it is not easy to fix. Do you solve your problem?What do you recommend to do? Maybe to get rid of the car??/
Thank you- Rafi

MPV Error codes P0031 and P0037 by 3pawdwolf

Hi,
My 2003 MPV with 92k miles has a check engine light on and is reading codes:
P0031 - Bank 1 Sensor 1 Heater Circuit Low
P0037- Bank 1 Sensor 2 Heater Circuit Low
It has been on for over a month and started blinking so I took it to a mechanic who tuned it up and cleaned the injectors and cleared the codes and said lets see what happens next. Well the check engine light came back pretty quick. I took it to Autozone and had the codes read. I'm thinking to save a little money if you folks can tell me which sensor to replace and where its located. Any help is appreciated.

PO174 and PO171 Codes by aa0526

I have a 2002 Mazda MPV, 105K - new spark plugs, new wires and new air filter.
But I have these 2 codes showing up (with the following options/hypothesis)
 
PO174 and PO171:
 
PO171 - Fuel system for bank 1 is too lean, Oxygen sensor recognized a rich or lean condition on one engine bank only
1- Suspect fuel pressure or Mass Air Flow sensor
2- Oxygen sensor defective
3- Ignition misfire-repair
4- Fuel injector problem
 
PO174 - Fuel system for bank 2 is too lean, rich or lean air/fuel ratio condition engine bank two
1- Suspect fuel pressure or Mass Air Flow sensor
2- Failed HO2S21
3- Ignition misfire condition
4- Fuel injector problem
 
Which ones should I ask the mechanic to look at?
I don't want to go back and forth the car shop and just have the CEL keep coming back on...
 
Thanks!

I think that intake air manifold gasket leak could also cause these codes, so that might be an area to check.

Hi,
I could not get anymore info so took it back to mechanic and he replaced the 2 sensors pointed to by P0031 and P0037. After clearing the codes it didn't take long for the check engine light to come back on. The mechanic told me it was back on and still reading P0037- Bank 1 Sensor 2 Heater Circuit Low. He suggested I take it to the Mazda dealership as he wasn't sure what to do except replace more O2 sensors. I don't really fault the the guy.
So I'm out a total of $550 for the 2 visits to mechanic so far (I put this in for the benefit of those who search these error codes in the future)
You folks have any wisdom to share?

This a frequent problem with 00 Nissan. It has been traced back to intake manifold gasket leak.

I would take nls's advice. I just had the same codes come up. My regular mechanic guessed it was either the O2 sensors or the gaskets when he saw the readings, but the dealer didn't even hesitate before warning me what it probably was. After doing their own check they confirmed is was the the intake manifold gaskets.

I know of a 2000 Mazda MPV with the same error codes. The owner took it to the dealer who told them it was the front O2 sensor. They are relatively easy to install with an adjustable wrench or the right size socket ratchet. (Lightening)

You can buy an OBDII reader for less than $150.00 and delete the code, then sell it before the code reappears. (Lightening)

3pawdwolf,
 
I have a 2003 MPV and also got a check engine light that showed P0037. I checked the code at Autozone, and then paid for the more expensive scan at my trusted garage, which returned the same code - "02 Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 2". Same as you, they want to replace one or two of the sensors for nearly $500. I'm hoping you can tell me how you resolved this issue before I throw too much money at it. Is it resolved? Thanks
