CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN! P0130 & P0150 OBD2 DTC FAULT CODES BUT IT PASSED STATE INSPECTION!

oh hey guys how you doing it's Henry at mowers and blowers welcome to another sketchy video so get this can you believe it's been one full year since I bought sketchy I thought it was really too soon time just flies you know anyway uh the reason why I know that is because I got a notification from the DMV or something like that that my inspection is due and I'm like no way I just got this truck right I've put less than 2500 miles on this truck so far and I've been using it pretty often I just don't really go anywhere anyway as you guys know from all the work that I've done to this truck I've always had two error codes right it's the p0130 which is the oxygen sensor Bank One Sensor One and also p150 which is bank 2 sensor one so those are the two oxygen sensors that are located right after the exhaust manifold and before the catalytic converters right so they would come on from time to time the check engine light right and I believe this thing passed its first inspection with that problem no no problems because even though it has a fault it doesn't fault it enough to be out of the specifications I believe uh the voltage specifications which which is between um I want to say 0 and 7 volts and this gets 4.5 volts with an OBD2 scanner that I look through and even when you look at both of those p130 and p150 faults they both show pass but nevertheless the check engine light does go on so after I drive it for a while it goes off and then I drive it for a while comes back on so it's intermittent there is a bulletin from Ford that says that you need to update the PCM software and um holy cow so I've read online that there is actually a Ford bulletin that updates the problems that people have with this year vehicle for the p130 and p150 error codes and that update to the PCM software usually fixes it or you can replace your oxygen sensors or just check them but I never did because like I said it comes on and then it goes off comes on goes off it doesn't really bother me and apparently it passed inspection with it on when I first got this truck so because my inspection is up I need to go and get a new inspection sticker well I thought I'd go and uh to my friend Bill Martini's place in Hicksville Long Island my inspection sticker is expired so I need to get a new sticker currently the light is on as you can see from my Dash I do have a check engine light on I've hooked up my uh vivor diagnostic tool and we're going to do a test real quick just to show you OBD2 Diagnostics processing engine is on and running and it shows 1 DTC I'll press okay and it'll show recodes let's read it current dtc's it shows one p 0130 the 150 doesn't show up and this is O2 sensor circuit bank one which is the left side driver side sensor one the one right after the exhaust manifold so when you go down to pending dtc's it says vehicle has no fault codes I don't know exactly what that means but I'm going to show you Readiness now uh since dtcs were cleared no I want to show this drive cycle last time that I drove this car shows zero dtc's I don't know what all that stuff means okay let's do it when the last time the dtcs were cleared and it showed it had one DTC code so let's go to that other one here I don't know what ec1 one or two means I didn't know it had two and it showed zero there see now let's go to this drive side cycle and show zero dtc's here I'm going to go to O2 censer test okay DCU One Bank One sensor one that's the one that has the error okay let's this one doesn't support so we'll try this one Bank two Rich to lean sensor and it shows test value is [Music] 44499 right and the minimum limit is zero maximum limit is 7.9 so it falls into that range and it shows on the bottom status pass let's go to this one here doesn't support go to this one here Rich to lean sensor shows exactly the same thing 4499 and the maximum limited zero my minimum zero maximum 7.9 and it shows pass so I think that's why uh it passed the first time with these errors is that it's not enough to fail inspection so uh Bill told me to erase the code and then it you need to drive it at least 7 uh 5 miles in a stretch of 23 minutes to get a proper cycle for the ECM to kind of gauge your driving Style so he told me that it won't pass if you have a check engine light on so erase it and have a drive cycle before he puts his machine to it so I'm going to erase the codes clear reset emission related diagnostic information are you sure okay to confirm please turn ignition on with engine off H okay I just shut off my engine and the ignition is on enter to continue emission related diagnostic information has been cleared as you can see the vehicle has no fault codes so to start this cycle when I get ready to leave to go to bills it does take about 20 minutes to drive to his place on the highway so that's going to be more than enough for a drive cycle hopefully by the time we get there the light doesn't come back on again I'll bring my scanner with me just so Bill can check it out and hopefully we'll pass inspection today at Bill's and uh that'll be it but if you guys have this problem too please leave it in the comments and tell me how you got rid of the p130 and p150 codes and uh if your experience has been similar to mine I think I'll take the advice of the people that do comment and tell me what you did to clear those codes um I mean I could easily just go and buy two more sensors but I don't really think that's the problem because com's on and off anyway uh next we're going to go see bille now cheapest gas on Long Island 285 regular so here we are at Bill's Place say hi Bill hey everybody so here where is it okay if I film this yeah cool wait for you to film all the error messages that you know New York State hasn't figured out yet I SC the [Music] B this is exciting is everybody yeah so I uh so I reset it before I left for here I drove at least 7.5 miles on the highway within a 23 minute period I have low confidence he thinks it's going to fail I I think so too but we'll see um it did pass the first time like I said but anyway um it was about a 20 5minute drive you know with most of it was on um the highway I haven't shut it off since I left my driveway he told me to keep it on hey that means I'm going to get the old sticker as opposed to the new stick this is the new one oh you got the new stickers yeah yeah this the new um New York state inspection had the vinyl stickers before but they recently changed it to printouts with more information on it uh the service station that I had my initial inspection done had the they just installed the machine like hours before I did it and so when I did it they they I had like literally one of the first new stickers ever you know and uh recently bill just had his uh set up here to the ago to the paper stickers coule months [Music] ago so now you you don't have to put it onto a dyo or stick a thing in the tail pipe remember years ago you had to actually put it on a Dyno to do that and then and then also stick the thing into the tail pipe I mean what a pain I mean how does I and that was a lot of work too yeah you had to strap it down and for a state inspection back then was what $25 back then or something like that now it's 37 37 I I lost it cost me m it cost me money to so tell me what what that is right now it's just checking the OBD signal it's not going to see it because this is one of the problems with this inspection machine it always fail so I got to wait 30 seconds oh and then I'll test it in another 30 seconds and how how many attempts usually have you ever gotten when you don't communicate at all no no no if you ask me what date the inspection sticker insired you doomed huh if it ask me what date the old sticker expires why that means it failed oh and you get a sticker I passed I pass I told you man my other service station and he's a that's like a mom and pop kind of setup like a joeo kind of a place recycle the key that that was probably the oh no yeah baby new inspection sticker Bill's shocked why are you shocked made me look like an idiot sketchy's fantastic no problem so how about it huh and they and they make these stickers like the registration that doesn't look like the sticker that I had before oh it does look like it well per now you're legal now you're legit oh it's off center a little you that out look Henry shut the up that all right it's blue good for another year Ford fix or repair Daily Sweet Caroline you see not really a big problem it comes and goes and as long as I uh reset it and drove for one drive cycle light didn't come on it usually doesn't for a while so uh good to go for another year uh still though guys leave a comment about what you think could be the problem and whether or not the bulletin would fix this problem or should I just swap out my O2 sensors so before we go bill you think I should change my O2 sensors or should I go to Ford and try to get a reprogram of the PCM if that bulletin applies if you to your VIN you'd have to call forward with your VIN number uh and they'll tell you if that one applies to them and I would pay to have it done it's probably usually like an hour diagnostic time so like $150 $200 that hourly radi is it's usually 150 175 an hour no I work in a Steelers ship so anyway bill as always man a good to see you always good to see you B thanks a lot for your help again problem I've got some goodies in the trunk for you contributing to the channel by a sticker thank you so how about it man I am leaving the Volkswagen in hipsville with a brand new inspection sticker I'm stoked um and Bill didn't even charge me for it he says it's a contribution to the channel what a nice guy everybody needs a friend like Bill you know what I mean I'm just lucky that uh that he's my friend so while my issue uh is probably still here you know I'm going to drive this for a little bit and eventually that check engine light is going to come back on again and then I'm going to drive it for a little while and it's going go away by itself it's just been like that cylic for the past 2500 miles since I got the truck you know I don't drive the truck very often you know that might you know contribute to it too I'm thinking about swapping out two new O2 sensors but I honestly don't think that's a problem because it's getting perfect voltage you know uh again please if you guys know more about this stuff leave it in the comments if you also get the p130 and the p150 error codes consistently I don't know if yours goes off by itself or yours stays on for the duration um but either way uh we got this taken care of sketch's good for another year on the inspection um and I couldn't have done all this and also if you guys remember he he helped me with my air conditioning uh situation too where I replaced my air conditioning compressor by myself which you know honestly wasn't that hard but it you know did take some doing but uh he discharged and then recharged my AC with his equipment at the shop now that would have cost like $1,500 to do but I only spent 150 bucks on the uh AC unit and you know he he did all that stuff for me for free so with a friend like Bill man I saved a ton of money and uh so uh whenever I get like new review tools and stuff like that that I don't need man look at that huh stick welder over there look at the difference in size uh and I know that he needs it I'll give it to him because you know he's done me a solid for such a long time anyway Kudos and props to Bill Martini good friend and uh hope you guys enjoyed today's episode we'll see you guys next time on mowers and blowers it's Henry I'm mowers and blowers see you guys next time on blowers
