P0174 on Jaguar
System Too Lean (Bank 2)
P0174 on Jaguar vehicles indicates system too lean (bank 2). Au7o has documented this code across 1 Jaguar model — most commonly on XF. P0174 means the engine computer detected that the air-fuel mixture on Bank 2 (the side of the engine with cylinder 2) is running too lean — too much air relative to fuel. The computer monitors this through the oxygen/air-fuel sensors and fuel trims; when it has to add a large amount of extra fuel to compensate and still can't reach the target, it flags the mixture as too lean. A lean condition can cause rough idle, hesitation, or misfires, and over time can raise combustion temperatures. Because it's Bank 2 specific, an unmetered air leak on that bank or a fuel delivery shortfall is typical. Typical repair costs on Jaguar range from $400 to $1,200, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0174
- •Vacuum or intake air leak (hoses, gaskets, PCV)
- •Dirty or failing mass airflow (MAF) sensor
- •Weak fuel pump or restricted fuel filter (low fuel pressure)
- •Clogged or underperforming fuel injectors
- •Leaking intake manifold or throttle body gasket
- •Faulty or contaminated oxygen / air-fuel sensor
- •Exhaust leak upstream of the oxygen sensor
- •Stuck-open EGR valve
P0174 on Jaguar by Model
Jaguar XF(1 issue)
- Crankcase Ventilation Valve Failure on AJ-V82009-2015
The crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve on AJ-V8 engines fails, causing excessive oil consumption, oil leaks from gaskets under positive crankcase pressure, and rough idle. The valve diaphragm tears, disrupting crankcase pressure management.

What does P0174 mean on Jaguar?▼
P0174 stands for "System Too Lean (Bank 2)."
