CODE 44

 

Trouble Code 44 indicates that the O2 sensor is showing a persistently high exhaust oxygen content (lean), despite the efforts of the ECM to increase injector on-time (thus increasing fuel delivered). Integrator and BLM numbers may indicate > 128 by a substantial margin.

 

Code 44 is set when:

 

* O2 sensor voltage remains below .2 volt for 60 or more seconds

* System is operating in "Closed Loop."

* No Code 33 or Code 34

 

Possible causes include:

 

1. O2 sensor defective or lead shorted

2. Lean injectors (dirty or blocked)

3. Water in fuel

4. Exhaust leaks upstream of O2 sensor

5. Fuel pressure too low

 

Note: Presence of Code(s) 33 and/or 34 may indicate MAP problem. This should be the first suspect in the case of a Code 44 being set

 

See if there's an exhaust leak, or maybe put some STP fuel system cleaner in your gas.
