SES code
My service engine soon light just came on the other day and I got the codes diagnosed and it read P0171 and P0174, system too lean on bank 1 and 2. Not sure what this means, can anyone help me figure it out?

It means that the air fuel ratio as measured in the exhaust to too far to the lean side. IE not enough fuel. Could be many reason behind that. Any other problems?

Well the car still drives fine and I haven't noticed anything wrong other than the light coming on. Yes the car was tuned probably 5 months ago for all the mods I had and I haven't had any codes until now. Mods are LT's, ORY, magnaflow, LS6 manifold, pp tb, lid w/ filter, FTRA, plugs, wires, catch can, O2's and descreened MAF...that's about it.

Try getting some MAF cleaner and clean your Mass Air Flow sensor, clear your codes and see if it recurs. Need a scanner to clear your codes, or some autoparts stores will do it for you, like Autozone.

Yeah someone mentioned cleaning the MAF but someone else suggested it may be a vacuum leak. My filter has not had any oil since it's been in my posession though (5 months or so) and I'm wondering why it'd suddenly be causing a problem w/ the MAF now. Not sure which direction I should head in terms of looking for the problem or if I need to get it to a tuner to determine what's wrong.

Just do both of those first. They are both almost free.

Will disconnecting the battery help it to reset?

Not sure if it matters or not but I also deleted the EGR and AIR.

If the tuner knew what they were doing and those were removed before the tune, it, shouldn't cause the issue unless something wasn't caped off properly.

If the MAF sensor is clean it just means that you have un metered air entering you system. Check all vacuum lines. I had that problem once, it ended up being that the hose for my PCV valve was corroded and had a samll hole in it. I had a hard time finding it cause the hole was on the back side so I couldnt see the damn thing. Pulling the battery cable might/might not reset your PCM. Instead try this:

Your PCM is now reset. If you had any code showing (SES) before... it should now be gone now.. if it comes back on then you need to have the code scanned so you can pinpoint the problem and correct it. Once corrected you can reset the PCM again to see if you solved the issue. The computer will relearn everything including anything previously programmed such as with LS1edit.

Well I cleaned the MAF and then checked the catch can and found that the wing nut at the bottom was not tightned so I tightened it up. I took out the pcm ign and pcm bat fuses and put them back as per the instructions. The SES light still came on so I guess I'm gonna have to take it by my mechanic for him to take a look at.
