02 4.2L v6 error codes

My son picked up a 02 F 150 4.2L v6 4x4 and it runs fine has no issues running but the check engine light is on. He took it in to the local part shop and they gave him the error codes.
P0174
P1401
P1451
P2151
Anyone know where I can find what these mean?
thanks

Since you got the truck with the codes, I would clear them and see what comes back because this is 'old' history as far as your concerned.
Then address those that return.
The list given implicates 4 different problem areas.
A lean indication on bank 2.
An evap issue, a fuel system issue and an EGR issue.
Not sure you really have all these until you clear and let the system retest everything over several drive cycles.
All you need to do is remove the Plus battery cable for a few minutes then re connect.
This causes a complete reboot and test of all systems over a number of drive cycles.
The EVAP system takes a long time and may not clear if there is an issue.
A clear done with a reader or scanner only causes a retest but not a reboot, to take place. Either way is ok.
Expect anything on a 02 used vehichle.
A reader is cheap these days.
Good luck.

I cleared the codes and they came back within 40 miles. The ERG should be easy enough to correct but what about the Lean on bank 2 or EVAP? Any suggestions on fixes?
THANKS

These webpages tell what each of these codes mean and possible causes. I hope this helps.

Erv

Webpages:
P0174: OBD-II Trouble Code: P0174 System Too Lean (Bank 2)
P1451: OBD Trouble Code: P1451 EVAP Control System Canister Vent Solenoid Circuit Malfunction

Here is all I could find on P1401:
P1401 Differential Pressure Feedback Electronic Sensor circuit High Voltage
Webpage: OBDII Code P1401 - DPFE Circuit High Input | HelpForCars.net

All I could find is a description of P2151:
P2151 Fuel Injector Group "B" Supply Voltage Circuit High
