Default Mazda OBD codes P0031 P0051 P0037 related to exhaust manifold?


A cracked manifold can definitely cause a false code. Extra air is
getting pulled into the exhaust system. Since air is 21% oxygen, it'll
easily throw off the fuel mixtures and set a code...

EDIT: I don't think the crack could cause an O2 sensor to fail, though.
