P0170....Fuel Trim (Bank 1)

from reading the code it is about fuel and its the mixture isnt correct ,this i think is being caused by a faulty O2 sensor on bank one but as iam in europe and out gallants are normally a 4 cyl engine i am afraid i couldnt tell you whats bank one weither its the left side or the right side but if you can find out what side is bank one then its just a case of testing the O2 sensor with a automotive meter then changing the appropiate sensor as theri are two sensors fitted one before the cat and one after but without a tester on it its difficult to say but i would check the after the cat sensor first.

Spanner light comes on when I start my 2007, mitsubishi galant fortis. what does that mean. I cannot understand it because the writing is in Japanese

The spanner light means that there is a fault in the engine department. Have the fault code read . It could be something as simple as a reminder that the timing belt is due for replacement. Check the mileage and if it is around 100.000 it could be the warning.

PO170 is a fuel trim malufunction. On a V6 this applies to the rear cylinder head. Lots of possibilities as fu"el trim" refers to the volume air flow sensor, fuel injector, fuel pressure, engine coolant senor, air intake sensor, barometric pressure sensor, oxygen sensor, intake air leaks, or cracks in the exhaust manifold
