P2096 Diagnostic Code in 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.7L - Post Catalyst Fuel Trim Lean Bank 1
I own a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 3.7L engine. No noticeable performance issues or overheating of the exhaust converter. The vehicle has triggered a P2096 diagnostic code, which reads 'Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Lean Bank 1'. I'm wondering if this could be caused by a faulty downstream oxygen sensor after the catalytic converter. Any insights on possible causes or troubleshooting steps?
P2096 is not a common code, so it's important to first review any recent modifications, exhaust leaks, fuel system changes (like using injector cleaners), or over-heating events. If none of these factors apply, I'd recommend clearing the code and monitoring the vehicle for recurrence—this will help determine if the issue is intermittent or related to a specific condition.
