Good Day Folks,

I have a weird code popping up in my truck. Well, ok, the code isn't weird. (P096). But it only throws the code when using the remote start after the truck has sat all day or all night. And it only seems to happen if it's below 0C-ish. Doesn't happen any other time. Has anyone else experienced this? I tried searching P096 but didn't get a hit on this problem. 2019 F150 2.7 XLT
Thanks in advance

 

Your DTC is not complete. There needs to be 4 numbers after the "P". Assuming the DTC is actually P0096, from the PCED Manual:

P0096 – Intake Air Temperature Sensor-2 Circuit Range/Performance Bank-1

Description:

This DTC sets when the IAT2 sensor PID does not correlate with the CACT sensor or the IAT sensor PIDs at ignition ON. It also sets if the IAT2 sensor PID exceeds the maximum calibrated temperature threshold while driving.

Possible Causes:

• Slow responding IAT2 sensor
• Damaged IAT2 sensor

Diagnostic Aids:

The IAT2 sensor is located on top of the intake manifold. Aftermarket heaters that are attached to the engine, transmission or battery may cause DTC P0096 to set in cold weather climates after a 6 h soak period.

This DTC may be accompanied by other DTCs. Check for other DTCs and diagnose those first.

 

You're right Merc. I forgot the other 0. Thanks for that. Nothing aftermarket on the truck, especially heaters, lol. I will throw a new one on and see if that fixes it.

 

I've got the same issue that just started happening.

I can't say whether or not it's only when using the remote start, as that's pretty much the only way I ever start the truck.

I did remove the IAT2 sensor and 2 other intake sensors and cleaned them up in the summer, but I have not had any issue or CEL until about 2 weeks ago.

I'll try starting it with the key and avoid the remote start a few time's and see if it still pops up.

 

I did some testing last week, and didn't use my remote start at all to start the truck....... No CEL

Then on the weekend I tried the remote start a couple of times...... CEL popped up again (P0096)

 

BUMP

Anyone else have or hear of this issue?

I can't figure out why I can start my truck with the key consistently without any issue or CEL, but I can't remote start it more than 3 time's in a row without the P0096 CEL popping up.

 

Finally got around to trying to sort this out.

Truck started giving the code even starting with the key, so that ruled out the remote start being part of the problem.

I replaced the MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor at the top of the intake manifold, and so far no CEL.

Here are some pics from last summer when I cleaned up the old one.

 

Hot off the press...
