2004 Ford F250 OBD2 Fault Codes P0153, P2197, and P2198 - What Do They Mean?
I'm considering purchasing a 2004 Ford F250 with 72,000 miles. The check engine light is on, and the vehicle has three OBD2 diagnostic codes: P0153, P2197, and P2198. I want to understand whether these codes are primarily caused by a faulty oxygen (O2) sensor or if they indicate other underlying issues. What are the most likely causes of these specific fault codes in a 2004 Ford F250?
The correct code is P2197, not P02197. This is an important correction to ensure accurate diagnosis.
