Ford Error Code P1152: How to Fix It

Q: What causes Ford error code P1152?

P1152 is typically caused by a dirty air filter, faulty mass airflow sensor, vacuum leaks, fuel injector problems, or a contaminated oxygen sensor. It indicates the engine is running too rich on bank 2.

Q: Can I drive with Ford code P1152?

You can drive short distances, but the vehicle will have reduced fuel economy and increased emissions. Address the issue promptly to prevent potential damage to the catalytic converter.

Q: How much does it cost to fix P1152 on a Ford?

Repair costs vary widely depending on the root cause. Simple fixes like air filter replacement cost $15-30, while oxygen sensor replacement ranges $150-300, and fuel injector issues can cost $300-800.

Q: Will P1152 cause my Ford to fail emissions testing?

Yes, P1152 will likely cause your vehicle to fail emissions testing since it indicates the engine is running rich and the check engine light is illuminated.

Q: Which oxygen sensor is bank 2 sensor 1 on Ford vehicles?

Bank 2 sensor 1 is the upstream oxygen sensor located on the passenger side exhaust manifold (before the catalytic converter) on most Ford V6 and V8 engines.

Abstract

Error code P1152 on your Ford indicates that the upstream oxygen sensor on bank 2, sensor 1 is detecting a rich fuel mixture condition. This means there's too much fuel or not enough air in the combustion chamber, which can reduce fuel efficiency and increase emissions.
