The 2097 code is the Downstream Bank-1 O2 - what does it mean...take it back
to the dealership for warranty repair. Seriously, those codes are showing
both O2's are too rich - something isn't right.

Hey Bernd,
I've filled up several times since I got the P2099, and the light never
went away. Checked the error codes again today, and now I've got two,
P2099 and P2097. If you don't mind me asking, what does P2097 mean? The
appointment for it is tomorrow so it's not like I have to wait that long
to find out anyway. Perhaps you could get together with whoever runs the
website (Jon?) and update the database with the new codes. I dunno, just
making random suggestions.
