P1125

Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Upper Load Range, Bank 1 - Above Limit

MED SEVERITY

Porsche-specific multiplicative fuel-trim adaptation code. At higher engine load the mixture correction for bank 1 has reached its adaptation limit. Unlike the idle-range codes (P1128/P1130), this fault is weighted toward part- and full-load metering, so it points more strongly at the MAF, a large vacuum leak, or a fuel-delivery shortfall than at a small idle vacuum leak.

SYMPTOMS

  • Check-engine light
  • Hesitation or flat spot under acceleration
  • Reduced power at higher load
  • Worse fuel economy

LIKELY CAUSES

  • Dirty or failing MAF (skewed multiplicative correction)
  • Large intake/vacuum leak
  • Weak fuel delivery (pump, filter, injectors) if lean
  • Over-fuelling source such as a leaking injector if rich
  • Air-oil separator fault

DIAGNOSIS STEPS

  • Log fuel trims across the load range, not just at idle
  • Clean or replace the MAF and re-check the multiplicative trim
  • Smoke-test the intake
  • Verify fuel pressure/volume under load
  • Clear and road-test through the affected load range
