In most cases, it&rsquo;s best to leave the job to professionals.<br>For DIYers with advanced technical knowledge and hands-on experience who prefer to do the job on their own, it will be helpful to rely on the appropriate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/why-you-should-always-consult-a-repair-manual\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"repair manual or refer to an online repair database\">repair manual or refer to an online repair database<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Note About O2 Sensors, Rich \/ Lean Conditions, and Fuel Trims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>O2 sensors detect oxygen, not fuel, so a misfiring cylinder will send unburned fuel and air through the exhaust, but all the O2 sensor will detect is the oxygen. It has no way to detect hydrocarbons or nitrogen. That being said, the O2 sensor&rsquo;s input to the PCM will drive the fuel trims in the direction of adding more fuel due to the perceived lean condition. And it happens very rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&ldquo;Lean&rdquo; means an imbalance that the O2 sensor perceives as out of balance, with 14.7:1 being the target. That&rsquo;s 14.7 parts air (by weight) to 1 part fuel (by weight), which is how engineers measure fuel and air in this context. By volume, an engine uses 9,000 gallons of air for every one gallon of fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conventional O2 sensors switch back and forth above and below .45-.50 volts, with voltages higher than the .45-.50 volt threshold indicating rich (too little air) and voltage below the .45-.50 volt threshold indicating lean (too much air).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"399\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/p2272-code-graph-1024x399.jpg\" alt=\"p2272 code graph\" class=\"wp-image-79911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/p2272-code-graph-1024x399.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/p2272-code-graph-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/p2272-code-graph-768x300.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/p2272-code-graph-150x59.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/p2272-code-graph.jpg 1274w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Notice the blue trace in this screen print and how it switches rapidly from near zero to nearly 0.8 volts. This sensor is mildly biased lean, but not enough to cause a problem. The normal accepted range for a conventional zirconia sensor is from 0.2 to 0.8 volt switching.<br><br>The green trace is long term fuel trim (LTFT) and the purple trace is short term fuel trim (STFT). Notice how rapidly STFT reacts to the O2 sensor&rsquo;s switching. Long term fuel trim will typically only react rapidly in response to changing load conditions or rapid throttle response.<br><br>The yellow trace in the screen print is the downstream O2 sensor behind the warmup catalyst on bank 1. Notice how lazy that sensor is compared to the upstream sensor.<br><br>What most mechanics don&rsquo;t even know is that the downstream sensor will become the primary input for closed loop fuel calculations if the PCM\/ECM detects that the upstream O2 sensor becomes biased.
