I got an 04 Nissan Sentra and I got a (P1273 Nissan - Air Fuel Ratio Sensor 1 Lean Shift Monitoring Bank 1) code that popped up on it. Looking to see what the probable cause for this code to pop up? Is this a rare code that popped up on this car? There's no noticeable symptoms going on with the car.
I did clear the code and it came back 7 miles later. Also forgot to mention the car has a small exhaust leak on the flex pipe under the car, But was told by 1 person the code is not on because of that. The engine light went on 3 weeks after I noticed the small exhaust leak, (if it is because of the exhaust leak)?
Would I be able to test the possible problems with a Obd2 scan tool with live data or some other way? Because I have read it could be 02 sensor, MAF sensor and have heard that you can get reads for that off an obd2 scan tool with live data?

A/F sensor can be affected by an exhaust leak and I would suggest having the exhaust leak repaired first before you attempt others.
