See if this helps:

DTC P1174--Fuel Trim Cylinder Balance.

The fuel trim cylinder balance diagnostic is sensitive to H02S design. Also, a non-OEM sensor or an incorrect part no. may set a false DTC.

Inspect the air induction system for modified, damaged, leaking, or restricted components. Consider:

. Replacing air filter.

. Replacing air cleaner assembly.
