Possible causes
Tech notes
If the P0171 is combined with the P0174 code, it's very likely that the problem is
caused by an intake leak. If there are no intake leaks, the next step is to replaced
the air filter and clean the air flow meter. If the problem persist the front oxygen
(O2) sensor may need to be replaced.
What does this mean?
Possible symptoms
With the Air/Fuel Mixture Ratio Self-Learning Control, the actual mixture ratio can
be brought closely to the theoretical mixture ratio based on the mixture ratio
feedback signal from the heated oxygen sensors 1. The Engine Control Module
(ECM) calculates the necessary compensation to correct the offset between the
actual and the theoretical ratios.
In case the amount of the compensation value is extremely large (The actual
mixture ratio is too lean.), the ECM judges the condition as the fuel injection
system malfunction and light up the MIL (2 trip detection logic).

Replacing the Air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 bank 1 usually takes care of the
problem.
For Nissan models before 2005 see: P0132 Nissan
What does this mean?
The Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) signal computed by Engine Control Module (ECM) from the
A/F sensor 1 signal is constantly approx. 5V.

Low fuel level can trigger this code. Before replacing any parts try filling up the
fuel tank and erasing the engine code. If the problem persist it may be necessary
to replaced the fuel level sensor.
What does this mean?
An excessively low voltage is sent from the sensor is sent to Engine Control Module
(ECM).

As the code description implies the P0430 code means that the vehicle's control
module has detected that the three-way catalytic converter is not working properly
(is not as efficient as the factory is expecting). Replacing the oxygen (O2) sensors
may sometimes fix the code, but in most cases the catalytic convert needs to be
replaced to fix the problem. If the P0430 code is combined with other codes, try
fixing the other codes first.
What does this mean?
Possible symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
