Help?!Anyone with an OBD2 reader on the northside or bris??

[thelegend64]

Hi all,
Like the title says, is there anyone on the northside of bris that has an OBD2 reader, and free tomorrow (Friday 25th)?? I have got a CEL 3rd time in a row, no power cut so I'm thinking it may be DP related?? I have a 2xs DP but have had only one CEL. Maybe the warmer weather??? Can anyone help?

Mate, i can meet you in the city and give you my Garmin with the Ecoroute HD. It reads and clears CELS's.

PM me if you're keen.

Cheers Brad, I actually meant to write northside 'of' bris haha, I'm gonna call mazda in the morn to see if they'll charge to read and clear a code.

I have a dash hawk, and live at lutwyche.
I start work at 3 so anytime before that you can come meet me.

Oh cool,I'll see what mazda say but lutwyche is closer than the city at least!

simon... i think legend got it covered.. no updates equals good news

[Brackaus]

awww man i got my obsd read ready and my torque application loaded up....... now i'm dissapoint

[thelegend64]

Sorry for the laggy update, ended up goin to Mazda, they decided it was the DP and they recommend extending the O2 sensor a bit more!

[Yeldarb]

Did you get the fault code?

Next time it pops up, I'm sure we'll be able to assist!!

[thelegend64]

I'll check tomorrow, it was the one about the variation in cat temp.

[SarcasticOne]

if it's p2096 (i think...) extending the 02 sensor wont do anything

[Reedy]

If it's the Warm Up Cat Efficiency code (P0421) Then ignore it. Just clear it and see if it re-occurs.

Adding an O2 sensor extension will cause a guaranteed P2096.
If it is a P2096 already, Post CAT AFR mix too Lean, then your O2 sensor might need a clean, or the sensor might need to be moved a bit further into the exhaust flow, not out of it.

[Yeldarb]

...or have the loom extended, move the sensor after the Cat like Troy did on my car. Problem solved.

[Brackaus]

Just get a black marker and color over the CEL light... you don't need it.. it's annoying!

[thelegend64]

Brad, Troy did extend it past the cat already. It needs a spacer, the dude at Mazda told me that as he had the same problem in the race MPS. Brackaus, thats not a bad fix, plan B

I think the O2 sensor needs to be cleaned.
It has taken 4+ months for the CEL to appear. (With no extra mods?)
To much unburnt fuel will cause the O2 to become dirty.
