I have a 2005 Mazda MPV with 83,000 miles and the engine light came on with codes P2187, P2189, P2195, and P2197. I was told all four O2 sensors need to be replaced. I put some Sea Foam in the gas tank and it runs great except for a rough idle. What would cause all four codes to show up like that?

    After a lot of research it led me towards the hose for the pcv valve. After some carb cleaner and getting my hand to the hose I found that the top of the elbow was cracked. I replaced the hose and the pcv valve and reset the system by disconnecting the battery and right now all looks good. The repair cost me around 60 bucks and a lot of scratches on my arm but it works. I hope this helps other people with the same problem.

The combination of the 4 codes leads to low fuel pressure, bad injectors or a leak in the air intake.

SOURCE: I recently had problems with my 2005 Mazda MPV

The descriptions for your codes are:
P2197 - H02S (RF) signal stuck lean
P2195 - H02S (RF) signal stuck lean
P2187 - Fuel System too lean at idle
P0102 - MAF circuit low input

Essentially what's happening is that your MPV is running too lean when at idle. Too much air and not enough fuel. As you speed up - it forces more air into the system which alleviates the problem.

Examine your mass airflow sensor. It should be completely clean - no fuzzies on it at all. If so - purchase some mass airflow sensor cleaner to clean the sensor. ONLY USE THE PROPER CLEANER TO AVOID DAMAGING THE SENSOR. Disconnect the battery to reset the system and turn off check engine light.

Otherwise you will need a scan tool to look at the voltages being supplied to/from the PCM for each of the Heated Oxygen Sensors and the Mass Airflow Sensor to determine which part is creating the problem.

2007 Hyundai Entourage codes P2187, PP0174,P2189,P2195,P2270,P2272

I've come across these codes before. In almost every case there was an air leak in the intake air hose (hose between the engine air filter & the throttle body). Inspect this hose & tubes attached to it. This is especially true when the lean code includes the comment 'at idle'
P2187 - System too lean at idle Bank 1
P0174 - System too lean Bank 2
P2189 - System too lean at idle Bank 2
P2195 = HO2S Signal Biased/Stuck Lean (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
P2270 = HO2S Signal Stuck Lean (Bank 1 Sensor 2)
P2272 = HO2S Signal Stuck Lean (Bank 2 Sensor 2)

P2187 & P2189 = In order to provide the best possible combination of drivability, fuel economy and emission control, the PCM uses a closed loop air/fuel metering system. The PCM monitors the HO2S signal voltage and adjusts fuel delivery based in closed loop fuel control. Changes in fuel delivery will be indicated by the long-term and the short-term fuel trim values. The ideal fuel trim value is around 0%. The PCM will add fuel when the HO2S signal is indicating a lean condition. Additional fuel is indicated by fuel trim values that are above 0%. The PCM will reduce fuel when the HO2S signal is indicating a rich condition. Reduction in fuel is indicated by fuel trim values that are below 0%. The DTC relevant to fuel trim will be set when the amount reaches excessive levels because of a lean or rich condition

2006 Mazda codes P0455 P2198 P2189 P2187 P2196. Dont know where to start looking for problem. Bought a new gas cap. Trouble starting after I fill the tank but after I get it started the first time no...

P0455 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (large leak) P2198 O2 Sensor Signal Stuck Rich (Bank 2 Sensor 1) P2189 System Too Lean at Idle (Bank 2) P2187 System Too Lean at Idle (Bank 1) P2196 O2 Sensor Signal Stuck Rich (Bank 1 Sensor 1) basically you need to replace either the air /fuel ratio sensor,, or,,the heater relay associated with that sensor,, these are very hard to diagnose without the hand held or scope that narrows it down ,, you can check a multitude of voltages on a number of electrical connections, as far as the P0455 ,, if you installed a new gas cap either have the code removed , or wait a couple of days and it should remove itself, as long as the cap is factory approved, Look for vacuum leaks in the evap system , cut hoses,, bad connections,

I recently had problems with my 2005 Mazda MPV stalling. I came to this great site and changed the IAC and it stopped stalling. But 2 days later my check engine light came on. The codes are P2197 P2195...

P2197 p2187 p2177 p2195 p2179 p2189

P2197 - Oxygen Sensor Signal Biased/Stuck Lean Bank 2 Sensor 1
P2187 - System Too Lean At Idle Bank 1
P2177 - System Too Lean Off Idle Bank 1
P2195 - Oxygen Sensor Signal Biased/Stuck Lean Bank 1 Sensor 1
P2179 - System Too Lean Off Idle Bank 2

I am not sure what your Mazda is, but from the sounds of it, both of your Oxygen Sensors are shot. Replace them both, or check for vacuum leaks. It may be a good time to inspect and replace the PCV Valve and PCV Valve hose, too.

P2195 and p2197 are the 2 codes that pop up what are they and what do i need to change? mazdz mpv 2005 3.0 li

P2195 and P2197 means that the O2 sensors on each bank are seeing WAY too much oxygen in the exhaust gas. In normal operation the signal from the O2 sensors should swing back and forth between rich and lean... Your sensors are locked on lean. Replace both O2 sensor.

Hope helps (remember rated this).

Rough idle, failing power brake assist

Generally The brake light only indicates the parking brake is on and/or low fluid in level. You are correct that it indicates a vacuum leak recheck ALL vacuum lines you should be able to hear it as well.
