What does this code mean?
P0171/P0172 refer to bank 1; P0174/P0175 to bank 2. Lean or rich describes the controller's mixture assessment, not a direct measurement of a failed part. Compare fuel trims at idle and under load, inspect air and exhaust leaks, and test fuel supply or sensor readings using vehicle-specific limits.
Sources and interpretation [1]
A code identifies a detected condition, not a part that must automatically be replaced.

Can I keep driving?
A code alone cannot establish whether driving is safe. A flashing malfunction light, severe shaking, overheating, oil-pressure warning or loss of braking or steering needs prompt attention. Stop in a safe place and seek assistance when control or engine safety is affected. Follow the vehicle handbook.
