Discuss the causes and fixes for P2173 Chrysler OBDII Code
-
I have a 2013 Chrysler 200 with the V6. It has three fault codes: P0171, P2173 and P0884.
These codes sowed up about a week after I had the oil and air filter changed, and they all appeared at the same time. What should I look at first?
From what I can find, P0171 is air fuel mix lean on bank #1. P2173 is a vacuum leak. And P0884 is TCM power intermittent.
