Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked by Alex Volpe on January 24, 2021
My 2006 g6 v6 3.5 is showing codes p0171, p0174, p0705 and u0073
171 and 174 show that the engine is running lean.
Is this a serious issue?
0705 shows the trans range sensor a circuit
0073 says the control module communication bus is off.
My abs has been acting up but the dash doesn’t have any lights. What could it be?
Having a lean condition isn't good for the motor.
Lean is higher oxygen and lower fuel. Oxygen burns hotter than fuel. Being lean is to have a condition where the fire in your engine is hotter. The results are increased wear on valves and potentially melting the aluminum of the head. The melting is under extreme conditions.
You are in a situation where the ECU has essentially set itself into a 'safe mode' of pre-programmed settings if it feels the data it's receiving from various sensors is questionable.
The 0073 code, IMO, is the key. This is a failed bus on the ECU if I'm correct. You can try getting a used ECU on ebay or another source of used equipment or replacing with OEM. Validate what I've said, ECU's are expensive.
Best of luck.
PS. Too many variables on the ABS. If your front tires are over worn, it can act up under hard braking and give the steering wheel a good shake. Validate tire tread depth and brake pads as a starting point on the ABS issue.

Yes, it's serious. It's usually either because your MAF sensor is dirty, or one or more fuel injectors aren't working properly. Check out this link. You should still be able to drive a car that's running too lean, but you should never, under any circumstances drive it fast or put it under heavy load.

The fuel system and throttle body were dirty. I flushed Seafoam through via the oil, gas tank, and vacuum line. I also cleaned the throttle body, and the engine runs/idles perfectly clean.

had p0171 and p0174 codes, cleaned the maf sensor and replaced air filter that was not previously installed right and seems to have taken care of the problem.
