2008 Ram 1500 3.7L. Was getting P2096, O2 sensor bank one was constanly .01v no changes so i change all 4 and still get the same code while all sensors fluctuate from .01-.08v Th runs fine engine . i will check all other possible problems you mention and will repost. Very right to the point video, I like your technical expertise.
thanks for the help it really narrowed down what it could be. and allowed me to fix my car in a timely manner. (i threw putty on the catalytic converter)
A car cannot have a bad afr because of the p2096. Remember your before catalytic converter o2 does all the calculations if no code is thrown on that one, but a code is present after the cat then the cat must be bad. Post cat o2 sensor is only used for observing the catalytic converter health. The first o2 sensor is what actually monitors your engine.
Great video and information. Just got a P2096 code for 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS. This occurred during a road trip so had to drive it 150 miles before I could hook up my OBD reader to figure out the code. The only code was the P2096. It ran fine on the highway at 75mph. The car has 105k miles on it. Thoughts? I assume since it is just a 4 cyl that there is only a Bank 1 and no Bank 2, correct?
I’m running a catless downpipe and get this code weekly .. I checked and no vacuum or exhaust leaks and replaced O2 sensor I guess this will be a code when catles
It needs to be diagnosed, but yes, a bad fuel pump can cause lean codes. The gasket that keeps that gas and fumes in the tank likely wouldn't cause lean codes, but there may be another issue with the fuel pump.
only code im getting on my Genesis G70. Dealer told me they check everything and can't find any fault recommended the Tune up... expensive to see if that would help. not sure what to do I see no difference in driving.
my gf put 110 octane fuel into my 2022 lt1 camaro a few weeks ago and my check engine light is on now. I've tried clearing it but the light keeps coming back. I've had both P2098 and a P02096 code come up help???
It's difficult to say exactly what will happen and it depends on the vehicle and how much was added. The engine should be fine once it all burns away. However, 110 octane fuel is leaded, which may cause issues with oxygen sensors being coated and possibly damage to the CAT.
Dealing with this code after replacing both banks catalytic converter, had p0420, and P0430, no other codes present, or issues were present. fuel trims looked at normal range, now B1 is rich over 14%+, I guess two things happen either I left an exhaust leak, or the A/F sensor is acting up,...when reading B1,S2 volt signal first was stuck in rich(eng. was hot, fuel trims kind normal, over the edge) .08v then after , 30mis the B1S2 signal move stuck lean .02v. Then is when the fuel trim got way out of control, super rich.
I’ve had a p0420 code for a short time and tried several catalytic cleaning methods found on you tube without success. I decided to try an O2 spacer and now I’m getting a p2096. I’m no longer getting a p0420 but I’m thinking I’d rather have the p0420 than the p2096 messing with fuel mixture. I have no drive ability symptoms but the CEL bugs me, besides the fact that the cruise control doesn’t work with the CEL on. 2008 Subaru Forester.
hi so so i have a p2096 code and (p2271 pending code)and it once shown p0036 but that hasnt reappeared?is my downstream o2 sensor gone bad?2011 kia sorento,i havent noticed any drivability symptoms just CEL,thank you hopefully you could give me advice
@@BayareaXotics If u have no other codes present, Dont waste ur time on anything else, It is mostly the CAT going bad, If u can have it cleaned or replaced.
@@BayareaXotics Hello, I have an Elantra also with the code p2096. I changed oxygen sensor 2, the one after the catalytic converter, but the sheck engine appeared again 2 days later. What was it that changed my estimate? [my native language is not English]
Guys any one can help plz. Got this code on kia lotze 2009 ( in usa optima), 4 CYL engine, haa only bank 1 I aasume. Got this code, engine starts normally and on road is ok ran with speed 140km/h.. May be I think it consume little bit more fuel,,, otherwise is fine.... Took it to mechanicto check with his scan tool, said if there is no exhaust leak then its your O2 sensor,,,, its bit expensive and this might not solve my issue,,, any suggestions
I did all that and nothing worked, i drive a Mazda CX7 2011 model , It turned out it was a computer software issue. Not many people know this when you’ve done everything and the check engine light keeps coming back.

@@NicholeDuarte-ns6mg R u sure the CAT u installed is OEM , also u might be having some other issues since this code has nothing to do with drivability.
I've been randomly on & off getting the p2096 code. Sunday night, i got the code again while driving on highway. After exiting the highway at the light, i came to a stop, then the car stalled and hasn't started again since then😢when i try to start my car it sounds like the engine is being bogged down if that makes any sense....plzz help if you have ANY advice - 2005 Dodge Stratus sxt
Although i agree with that in general but, O2 sensor has been there on cars since late 90s. This is nothing new. The mas air flow sensor is also pretty old. Vacuum leak too.

hey my frend you check your fuel pump? so if you no good deleaver o best pression fuel giben toomach problem with the emission

how did you fix it, cause i just got the code and don't know how to fix it
@@guyeller1039 my problem was in the converter im gonna weld it now as it showed up again.

I have an old 2001 bmw and this is the only code I have just bank 1 all o2 sensors have been replaced and car drives fine is it prolly a bad cat?

Tune should erase that..
Kinda obvious that removing the cat will turn the check engine light on. You need a tune to disable the downstream o2 sensors.
Could a leaking gasket around the replaced fuel pump cause this issue. I can smell fuel from under the seat when I fill up the tank.

I got P2096 with P3000. My ignition coils and spark plugs are good. I am not sure what is the problem.
Have this code as well as P0137, P2A04, P0420 and P0430, trying to figure out if I just need new sensors or if theres anything more severe
Sir I have that code in addition to a p0304 misfire. I’m assuming it might be an injector
Yes, I would also test the injector and coil on cylinder #4.

What does CAT stands for? Catalyst?
