-1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
-2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
-3. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3000 RPM without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
-4. Test-drive the vehicle under these conditions:
- Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158 deg.F (70 deg.C)
- Transmission in D
- Engine speed below 4000 RPM
- Vehicle speed between 15-75 mph (24-120 km/h) for 3 minutes or more
Signal Current conditions Values Unit ECT SENSOR 1 ENGINE SPEED VEHICLE SPEED -5. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2096 with the HDS.
DTC Description OBD STATUS P2096 Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Lean (Bank 1) Does the HDS indicate FAILED?
YES
The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.
NO
If the HDS indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the rear A/F sensor (Bank 1, Sensor 1), rear secondary HO2S (Bank 1, Sensor 2), and the PCM. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot . If the HDS indicates EXECUTING, keep the test conditions until a result comes on. If the HDS indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step 1-4 and recheck.
- Exhaust system check
-1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
-2. Check for leakage, clogging, or blockage in the exhaust system.
Is there leakage in the exhaust system between the rear A/F sensor (Bank 1, Sensor 1) and rear secondary HO2S (Bank 1, Sensor 2), or any clogging or restrictions in the exhaust system?
YES
Repair or replace the exhaust system .
NO
Go to step 3.
- A/F sensor (Sensor 1) check
-1. Substitute a known-good rear A/F sensor (Bank 1, Sensor 1) .
-2. Reconnect all connectors.
-3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
-4. Reset the DTC with the HDS .
Reset PCM
-5. Do the PCM idle learn procedure .
-6. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3000 RPM without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

- Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158 deg.F (70 deg.C)
- Transmission in D
- Engine speed below 4000 RPM
- Vehicle speed between 15-75 mph (24-120 km/h) for 3 minutes or more
Signal Current conditions Values Unit ECT SENSOR 1 ENGINE SPEED VEHICLE SPEED -8. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2096 with the HDS.
DTC Description OBD STATUS P2096 Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Lean (Bank 1) Does the HDS indicate PASSED?
YES
Replace the original rear A/F sensor (Bank 1, Sensor 1) .
NO
If the HDS indicates FAILED, replace rear secondary HO2S (Bank 1, Sensor 2) . If the HDS indicates EXECUTING, keep the test conditions until a result comes on. If the HDS indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step 3-7 and recheck.
