Q: What does code P1153 mean?

Bank 2 Fuel Control Shifted Lean. P1153 on a Ford means the powertrain control module has detected that the bank 2 oxygen sensor is reporting a lean condition that it cannot correct within its normal fuel trim authority. The engine computer has added as much fuel as it can on the bank 2 side and the exhaust still reads too much oxygen, so it flags the fuel control as shifted lean.
