P2096 - '12 3.5 eco f150

[DSG2003Mach1]

back story - bank 2 cat took a shit, probably due to getting the good old ecoboost shudder a couple times back in the day. Couldn't find an OE cat or even a date on when I could get one. I put SPD Performance catted downpipes on it. I replaced all 4 sensors while I was in there.

Only other mods are a CVF intercooler and tuned.

Ever since I've been getting that P2096 which is a bank 1 lean code, which appears to come from the cat monitor sensor, not the front wideband. If I'm cruising on the interstate I might go hours between lights but in town it's usually less than 20 miles.

Tuner's reply is basically you have aftermarket downpipes with aftermarket cats, get ****ed. Searching the web seems other people's tuners (post EPA BS) made tune adjustments and the light stopped. I know they aren't supposed to mess with anything that would effect the cat below threshold CEL from working but to me a lean code is a lean code and seems that bank needs more fuel (which, with a higher flow cat, doesn't seem too wild).

I will say I put nonfoulers on there to try and avoid a cat below threshold light, the little crush seals on them don't seem to be very good and did not evenly squish. I took the spacers out last night to see what happens. I made it to the store last night and work today without a light, see what happens from there.

If nothing else I'd just like to better understand why this is caused by an inefficient cat and isn't just a fueling issue

Could you have an exhaust leak? Didn't you mention there's an issue with the exhaust manifolds on those engines at some point?

If the non-fouler doesn't work maybe you can try the mini cats.

I dont think I mentioned the manifolds but apparently people do have issues. I don't hear any sound that would go with a leaking manifold. I put the downpipes in on a Sunday, started throwing codes on my road trip Wednesday.

The only places for an exhaust leak are 1) downpipes to turbo and those got snugged with the big Milwaukee so unless theres a goofy spot in the flange (that wasn't a dent, I checked for cracks etc... before installing) 2) the o2 bungs themselves or 3) the non-foulers. All other joints are AFTER the sensors by a good 6" or more.

It’s my understanding this lean code is triggered off the rear sensor readings vs the front sensor readings, so ultimately the rear sensor is responsible.

The no foulers aren’t tall enough so you drill out one and stack it in another one. I’m wondering if either the excess height or the poor crush washer seal is causing the problem, that’s why I removed them last night and see what happens.

If this fixes my lean code and I end up with cat below threshold codes I’ll probably try the little mini cat things you linked to

Honestly, if the CEL didn’t prevent remote start from working I wouldn’t give a shit

Edit: made it to the store and back last night, work and home today with no code. Dunno if the lack of a light is after doing the KAM reset or if the non foulers were an issue. Trying not to get my hopes too high

 

[03cobra#694]

My 18 2.7 throws rear O2 (cats) CEL's constantly. I had replaced them way back, and it was good for 6 months. Came back, and just live with the light.

My 18 2.7 throws rear O2 (cats) CEL's constantly. I had replaced them way back, and it was good for 6 months. Came back, and just live with the light.

Mine was going off constantly, mode 6 data showed the cat was bad and I was over the CEL all the time. I let the dog ride along frequently so I need remote start to work so I can leave her in the truck

Traded one problem for another it seems

 

[03cobra#694]

Never affected the remote start, just that annoying light.

 

[DSG2003Mach1]

Never affected the remote start, just that annoying light.

Maybe it’s because my old truck isn’t as smart. With mine, if the CEL is on, it will not remote start (factory remote start)

Probably. I'd love to find a perm cure for this.

They replace the cats or the sensors? Seems like a ton of people were replacing cats under warranty.

Take your fancy laptop and download forscan, but the $50 cable on Amazon and look at mode 6 data. It’ll tell you the oxygen capacity of the cats and if they’re outta spec

I replaced the O2's myself. I have Forscan, never used it.

 

[DSG2003Mach1]

I don’t think you need the activation code (gotta renew it every two months or pay $12 for the year). Hook it up to the truck, hit the little connect button then I think it’s the wrench and can pick mode 6 and read the test results. Cat stuff is towards the bottom

 

[DSG2003Mach1]

tuner did email back today - the front wide bands show that fueling is correct, it's responding as it should and fuel trims are in range. The fact that this code is solely based off the rear O2 sensor means there's an issue after the front sensor so it really isn't a tune issue and all they could do is have it not report that code which is now frowned upon by our lovely alphabet boys.

still not holding my breath but day 3 after removing the non-foulers and beat on the truck a bit today, so far so good.

[JaCobro]

In my experience, most of the time that code appears after cat replacement due to a leak. Which sometimes was very small and hardly noticeable. I think you are right with the anti-fouler maybe causing the issue.

 

[DSG2003Mach1]

I used all motorcraft sensors from Rock Auto, so no amazon/ebay counterfeit BS.

I'll post a pic later of the doorman non-foulers. The crush washer seal they use doesn't fit well (too big), so one side gets crushed and the other doesn't, probably a better seal without it but will continue running with them off for a while and see what happens

 

[hotcobra03]

Have you done a key on engine running test?

It may give other codes that basic key on engine off does ,

what test is that/how do you run it? I have my Xcal 4 and Forscan.

 

[JaCobro]

Should be able to do self test with forscan. Not sure about xcal.

Also you can check your catalyst IM/readiness monitors, if its ready you should be good to go.

definitely not with the Xcal.

ran the KOER test and no codes, nothing pending, no issues.
