P133 & P171 Codes on 96 ContourLVandel 10-23-2004, 01:22 PM I'm getting P133 and P171 codes on my 96 Contour. It had 86,000 miles and seems to be running good. Had the MAU replaced a month ago and within 100 miles, the light was back on. Any suggestions for what it might be? Thanks for any help. beyondloadedSE 10-24-2004, 12:23 AM PO133 - upstream O2 sensor slow response PO171 - system to lean bank 1 I think its time for a new 02 sensor. LVandel 10-24-2004, 08:07 AM OK. Now the question I have is based on the code response of Bank 1. If I understand correctly, there are O2 sensors on each side of the catalytic converter. Which one is the Bank 1 sensor? I have the 2.0 DOHC 4 cyl model. The next question would be recommendations for where to get instructions for replacing it. beyondloadedSE 10-24-2004, 09:22 AM upstream means before the cat, so its on the front bank (obviously because you only have 1 bank) and its the upper 02. replacement is pretty much common sense. Get a wrench, unscrew it, unplug it. Plug in the new one, screw the new one in, your done. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
