Lean codes mean the Computers fuel ratio calculations are off by more than 15%, under 15% it won't set the codes

The computer calculates Open Time for fuel injectors "on the fly"

It bases the calculations on "KNOWN" parameters, it "knows" its running a 4liter engine, so it knows how many liters of air are coming in based on RPM and throttle position
MAF sensor is used to fine tune this for air temp and altitude above sea level.

It "knows" fuel pressure is 55psi, but there is no fuel pressure sensor............
So I would test fuel pressure, if it is 30psi then computer is basing calculations on false knowledge, and would set lean on BOTH banks
