Need Verification on Fix for 08 TL-S Error Codes
Need Verification on Fix for 08 TL-S Error Codes
HI Folks,
I have an 08 TL type-S that has had the Check engine light on constantly for a few months. In the past couple of months I had the dealer clean out the ERG ports as they were trying to figure out the problem (they did find the carbon gunk as found in this thread). I currently have the following three error codes being thrown on my car (I pulled the descriptions from this thread):
P0138 Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S) Circuit High Voltage
P0404 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Control Circuit Range / Performance Problem
P0430 Front Bank Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2)
The Dealership wants to fix it by swapping the following parts:
EGR valve (CAT)
Cat Converter )
Bank 1 Sensor 1
Bank 2 Sensor 2
I'd like to know if this seems legit and/or if there's anything else I should work on if they're already going to be doing this much labor. I tried searching the forums and it seems the sensors are probably legit, I'm more concerned about the Cat converter. Some comments from my service advisor for context:
My Erg valve isn't opening and he also suspects that my sensors are bad which is making the car run fuel rich.

they are related tho.
EGR is exhaust gas recirculation.
o2 sensors monitor air/fuel
and if one of those fail, a cat can fail...because a cat has to do with air/fuel/exhaust
so yes, they can all fail at the same time...because wrong octane fuel.
