An AIR code on led/sw simply means it is possible the 02 sesnor has not detected a very lean condition during self test...........so, is the 02 sens capable of a the very low required spec for self test ??? Don't know that yet...........

I just had the check engine light (CEL) come on again after haven driven about 600 miles since the last CEL incident. It gave a code 4 on the plug – red light on Diag Mod..
The diagnostic light on the modular plug under the hood on the passenger side of the engine compartment flashed “4” and then I put the home made code reader in pin “8” and got 1 flash…no fault found. When I put it in pin “14” it flashed “11” times. I did this twice to insure the code.
The “11” indicates --
“11 Closed throttle recognition signal to engine control module (HFM-SFI or Left LH-SFI) Fuel safety shut-off to engine control module (HFM-SFI or left or right LH-SFI)”
I believe that my engine contains the HFM-SFI

What in the world does this mean?

Is it serious?

How do I fix it?

I’ve been told that the O2 sensor usually goes bad.

Should I check the code on any of the other Pins?
I’ve left the code stored so that I can check other pins if necessary.
I hope this provides enough information.
Thanks for your help
