Default So many codes.

2010 F150 xl 4.6 V8 I’ve got a lot of codes coming out.
P0130. P0451
P0420. P0150
P2197
P2195


Abs codes:
C1297
C1963
C1145

any help is appreciated, I found for the P2197 & 2195. I’ve found that is a common code and I might be able to just switch out the pVC valve. I really don’t want have to change out all 4 o2 sensors

I'm no expert but from what I've seen a bunch of secondary codes can come up due to one big code.

If you want to help your cause go find one of the code sites like https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/ and paste all of the links for each code. Then people that don't have them memorized can just click on the work you've already done.

Some details about when the codes popped up is good also. Has it ever worked right for you? Did you just buy it? Etc.

Stop. Don't change any parts. DIAGNOSE one of the codes properly. It doesn't really matter which - pick one and start inspecting & testing things logically. The first question with ANY code is: does the indicated condition actually exist? What happened to the truck just before each code appeared?

Yes! I’m assuming all the codes are possibly co-codes due to others. Thank you for the website I’ll definitely check it out!
truck runs pretty smooth considering it’s got 130,000 miles on it. Consistent with oil chances Mobil 1 full synthetic high mileage.

Update! I did the PVC valve switch and surprisingly it helped! I used to have a rough start/idle after the truck had been off for a couple of hours. I turned the truck on this morning (the day after switching PVC) and no rough start/idle! I was pretty surprised! I’m stil assuming there’s more that can be done to help my problem. Next thing next to do is give the throttle body a good cleaning. If the PVC valve was bad I’m assuming I have some carbon build up in the throttle body itself.

The PCV has no effect on throttle body deposits. Early throttle bodies were designed NOT to be cleaned - check yours for a warning label before hosing it out.
