Review the 'Possible Causes' mentioned above and visually examine the corresponding wiring harness and connectors. Ensure to check for any damaged components and inspect the connector pins for signs of being broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded.
To diagnose the P0172 Honda code, it typically requires 1.0 hour of labor. The specific diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops can differ based on factors such as the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. It is common for most auto repair shops to charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas from the Air/Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor (Sensor 1) signal voltage, and it uses fuel feedback control to maintain the optimal air/fuel ratio. The air/fuel ratio coefficient for correcting the amount of injected fuel is the short-term fuel trim. The PCM varies short-term fuel trim continuously to keep the air/fuel ratio close to the stoichiometric ratio for all driving conditions. Long-term fuel trim is computed from short-term fuel trim and is used to regulate long-term deviation from the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio, which occurs when fuel metering components deteriorate with age or system failures occur. In addition, long-term fuel trim is stored in the PCM memory and is used to determine when fuel metering components malfunction. When long-term fuel trim is higher than normal, which is about 1 (0 %), the amount of injected fuel must be increased, and when lower than normal, it must be decreased. If long-term fuel trim is normal (too rich) or less, the PCM detects a malfunction in the fuel metering components and stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
