Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System (Bank 2)
This code means the car's computer is having trouble keeping the right balance of fuel and air after the exhaust has passed through the second set of filters on one side of the engine.
The P1193 code indicates an issue with the fuel trim system after the catalytic converter on bank 2, which is the side of the engine with the second set of cylinders.
The P1193 code is triggered when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects that the fuel trim system on bank 2 is not performing within the expected range after the exhaust gases have passed through the catalytic converter. This can affect the vehicle's emissions and performance.
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the oxygen sensor and wiring for damage.
• Check for exhaust leaks on bank 2.
• Replace faulty oxygen sensor.
• Repair any exhaust leaks.
• Clean or replace fuel injectors.
• OBD-II scanner
• Wrench set
