through 3 codes at the track...should i worry about these

[stonegod85]

p1000 ->OBDII monitor testing incomplete

p0161 ->downstream heated O2 sensor heater circuit fault- bank no. 2

p0141 ->downstream heated O2 sensor heater circuit fault- bank no. 1

what do these mean...and should i even worry about them???

Means your cheapo MIL eliminators are malfunctioning.

what are your mods?

the P1000 means that you have either had the battery disconnected recently or your PCM has been reflashed recently.

the P0161 and P0141 mean that the post cat O2 sensors are not reading correctly. you either have high flow cats, or have no cats. if that is the case you need O2 sensor simulators, or else get the rear O2 sensor inputs turned off via a PCM reflash or a dyno tune.

however, if you do have cats, i would look at a wiring harness issue. its rare for both rear O2s to go south at the same time. if it was the upstream sensors i would tell you to clean out your MAF sensor, however this is the post cat ones.

I 'circuit fault' code denotes that there is an actual electrical connection failure in the sensor. Theres a different set of codes for properly working sensors detecting no cats/bad cats.

Either the wires have been torn, melted, somehow mangled or faulty MIL eliminators (or a poor patch job) are installed.

The P1000 code will remain until all OBDII sensors complete their startup self-test, rear O2 sensors included.



Oh and BTW, this will not hinder the cars performance at all. Its just letting you know something is broken and you won't pass an emissions test.

Do you have a Predator tune installed?

Did you get MIL eliminators (PEP, Dallas Mustang, etc) with your O/R pipe, or did you leave it up to the tuner to disable the check engine light?

The tuner should be able to disable the rear O2s completely, and you can also disable the OBDII self-test if the P1000 remains after that.
