P0172 OBD2 Code in 2001 Ford Taurus After Heater Core Replacement

Model: 2001 Ford Taurus Fault Code: P0172 Posted: 2015-12-12 12:54

After replacing the heater core in my 2001 Ford Taurus, I'm now seeing the P0172 diagnostic trouble code. The vacuum system appears to be functioning correctly, and I disconnected the battery during the heater core replacement. Does the engine control module (ECM) require a specific driving duration to reset after reconnection? Or is there another step I should take to clear or resolve this code?

P0172 indicates a rich fuel condition in the engine system. Was this code present before the heater core replacement? For more details, refer to OBD-II code P0172 explanation at http://www.obd-codes.com/p0172

No, the P017-than appeared right after I finished replacing the heater core and reconnected the battery.
