Does anyone have any information of the O2 sensor
I suspect my is slow like super Slow out of a deceleration fuel cut off.....this causes Check engine Light for the second Bank 2 catalytic converter P0430(typically P0420 is the common one when there is a failure aka bank 1)


it's pretty stable at 0.865 to 0.895 but after a DFC it's slow to move from 0.1v unless i give it more gas
sensor 1 jumps all over the place from 0.1 to 0.870

they're not "following"

I end up with a "false flag CEL" · Short Term Fuel Trim (STFT) of +34.5 on both banks...

when running the Long term fuel trim is 3 to 4 range when driving

Swap the sensors left to right (or between equivalent sensors) and see if the code and sluggishness follow. Likely time for new O2 sensors.

How many miles is on the vehicle/sensors? IMO, any time after 100k miles, the maintenance on these sensors requires all 4 replacement, to help protect the catalytic converters.

It's not your sensor, the cat is dead; unless you have an exhaust leak on that side.

I used M4 I was able to do a drive cycle, all drive monitors are complete in 9 miles, now including the infamous "GM Evap monitor "...


obvious it's an DFCO issue then a Cat issue.. since DFCO is 'off' in M4 as well as the AFM




according the the Diagnostics sheet HO2S2 Post o2 sensor(Sensor2 ) ≥101 mV for 2.50 seconds prior to a DFCO exit... that is an enable condition

if my second sensor is dropping to a random "DFCO event " while my Bank1sensor2 is not then must be an issue with the sensor it self i'm going to replace all 4 of them the suv has 109k on it...

deceleration fuel cut off the PCM has an aggressive version of DFCO to save a few drops of fuel and a even more aggressive version of AFM.... remember it can accelerate in afm

a broken cat would have been reviled when i did a drive cycle with DFCO off
as i would have gotten the P0430 again before the drive cycle completed

maybe it just needed the italian tune-up i was running the engine at 3500-4000rpm for several miles... Yes the engine was warmed up before doing that

We used to call those an "Arkansas Tune Up".
