2004 or 05 Jeep Wrangler dtc P2096 (Post catalyst fuel trim bank 1 to lean). It set the mil lamp and then reset it self. Pulled the code with a scanner and found 1 of 2 to be P2096 and 2of 2 to be P2096 Pd. The description of the dtc os coming from my scanner it self. I believe this truck was detailed and then set the code. Possibly some of the cemical that was sprayed on the engine got int the air system and set the code. Cause is truly unkown at this time. I reset the code and have had no issues since. Maybe this is a fluke. But if not could become shoulder time on the highway for my son and his newborn. Not a good thing anyway. Can anyone help?

Here is more information about P2096
P2096-DOWN STREAM FUEL TRIM LEAN BANK 1

WHEN MONITORED 
With the engine running in closed loop mode, the ambient/battery temperature above (-7°C) 20°F , altitude below 8500 ft and fuel level greater than 15%.

SET CONDITION 
If the PCM multiplies short term compensation by long term adaptive and a certain percentage is exceeded for two trips, a freeze frame is stored, the MIL illuminates and a trouble code is stored. Two Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

Here are some possible casuses:
Exhaust leak
Engine mechanical problem
02 sensor
02 signal circut
02 return circut
Fuel contamination

Good luck and hope this helps.

    It would probably help if I spoke that language...this means about the same to me as \frac{-b + \sqrt {\Delta}}{2a} \quad\text{and}\quad \frac{-b - \sqrt {\Delta}}{2a} does

06 Cadillac STS V8 car has codes P0174 and P0420.

• DTC P0171 Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 1
• DTC P0174 Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 2
.
The engine control module (ECM) controls the air/fuel metering system in order to provide the best possible combination of driveability, fuel economy, and emission control. Fuel delivery is controlled differently during Open and Closed Loop. During Open Loop, the ECM determines fuel delivery based on sensor signals without oxygen sensor (O2S) input. During Closed Loop, the O2S inputs are added and used by the ECM to calculate short and long term fuel trim (FT) fuel delivery adjustments. If the O2S indicates a lean condition, FT values will be above 0 percent. If the O2S indicate a rich condition, FT values will be below 0 percent. Short term FT values change rapidly in response to the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) voltage signals. Long term FT makes coarse adjustments in order to maintain an air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1. If the ECM detects an excessively lean condition, DTC P0171 or P0174 sets.
Diagnostic Aids
• Excessive resistance in the fuel injector ignition 1 voltage circuit or the fuel injector control circuit may cause the following symptoms:
- Lean condition
- Misfire
- Rough idle
• The system will go lean if an injector is not suppling enough fuel.
• A lean condition could be present during high fuel demand.
• A malfunctioning MAF sensor can cause this DTC to set. Refer to DTC P0101 .
• Review the Failure Records with a scan. If an intermittent condition is suspected, refer to Intermittent Conditions .

DTC Descriptors
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
• DTC P0420 Catalyst System Low Efficiency Bank 1
• DTC P0430 Catalyst System Low Efficiency Bank 2

This code could mean the catalytic converter on that bank has failed .

Vehicle CEL is on, various codes

P0300 is a random miss fire , a vacuum leak can cause this as well as low fuel pressure ! weak fuel pump , clogged fuel filter !
DTC P0171: Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 1
DTC P0174: Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 2 These two codes are saying the PCM - engine computer is see a lean condition .
DTC P0191: Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor Performance
Circuit/System Description
The fuel pressure sensor is located on the fuel line. The fuel pressure sensor monitors the fuel pressure in the fuel line. The fuel pump flow control module (FPCM) monitors the voltage signal from the fuel pressure sensor.

You don't say what make , model an year vehicle ! These are for GM vehicles , yours could mean something else . Except the first three , those are genaric codes , same for all makes ! So can't say what this codes are P2097, and P2099 ! Can't mean this P2097 - Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Rich Bank 1
P2099 - Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Rich Bank 2

I have an 08 Saturn Astra XR. It won't come out of 1st. Throwing code p2096 post catalyst fuel trim system too lean bank 1. Put on new o2 sensor on both streams and I cleaned out mass air flow. Help?

That code wouldn't cause it not to come out of first gear . How did you retrieve this code P2096 , code reader etc.. This is an invalid code , not listed in Saturn service information . Have DTC'S check by a GM dealer , Chevy . You obviously have a transmission problem not an O2 sensor problem . Some code readers will replace a code with an other if it doesn't have the right one . Software .

P2096

Hi there:
DTC P2096 - Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Lean (Bank 1)

Lean mixture code could be caused by a leakage in the rubber boot that is between the throttle body (similar to a carburetor) and the air cleaner housing. Following are all the tests to be done for a vehicle other than yours... HERE.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.
