2016 Explorer/Flex/MKT/Taurus/MKS/Transit – 3.5L Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection (GTDI) – Illuminated MIL – DTCs P2096, P2097, P2098 And/Or P2099
Some 2016 Explorer, Flex, MKT, Taurus, MKS and Transit vehicles equipped with a 3.5L GTDI engine may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P2096, P2097, P2098 and/or P2099 in the powertrain control module (PCM) memory.
This may be due to incorrect calibration values setting a system DTC instead of a circuit fault DTC. If the vehicle exhibits DTC P2096, P0297, P0298 and/or P2099, perform Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) pinpoint test DW Steps 9-12 first to validate the Heated Oxygen Sensor wiring.
If no concerns are found, continue with PC/ED pinpoint test DZ.
