P2297: O2 Sensor Out of Range During Deceleration (Bank 1 Sensor 1)

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P22xx — Fuel & air metering and auxiliary emission controls

What does P2297 mean?

During engine deceleration with closed throttle (DFCO), the O2 sensor on bank 1 sensor 1 should swing fully lean as the manifold fills with fresh air. Code is set when the swing does not happen — usually a slow or coated sensor.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Symptoms

  • Check engine light on
  • Increased fuel consumption
  • Possible rough idle or hesitation
  • Failed emissions test

Common causes

  • High Sensor slow or coated
