TEST PIPE-CEL CODE Question

jasonkim370z · 03-14-2017, 03:42 AM

If I run test pipes and it throws a code, is it okay to just run with the cel on?
We don't have emissions here so that isn't an issue but just wondering if it will do any damage due to this?
any feedback appreciated.

In my experience if you throw the P2096/2098 "Post catalyst bank 'X' too lean" code, you're probably not doing any damage running on them.

I had that code after installing HFCs. Try buying O2 extenders or using the steel wool fix.

If the SES light bothers you, do one of the above to help or get tuned and they can get rid of it.

The biggest problem is if something is more serious happens you won't know because the light is already on. What you are suggesting should only be temporary, you need to find a long term solution if you actually have a problem with you CEL light, whether it be extensions, steel wool, or a tune.
