Which DTC do you turn off to remove the rear o2 without limp mode

[mad_sb]

So,

At some point on my E85 tune, I removed and unplugged my rear o2 sensor. That tune has a lot of the open to closed loop logic turned off etc etc.. Long story short, I don't have limp mode issues on that tune but I was using my own beta definition files and etc etc...

I'm running a tank of 91 thorough this week to clean any gunk that may have built up on the injectors etc... So I am using an OTS 91 tune... I have already turned off the following:
P0037
P0038
P0137
P0138
P0140
P0141

I am not getting a CELL but I am in limp mode (closed loop target of 13.2 ish)

I think I had some additional dtc's in my beta deffinition possibly for P004X related to heater circuit.... but I don't have access to that deffinition at the moment.

Anyone know for sure what DTC's you need to turn off when you remove the rear 02 all together?

I know I can plug the rear 02 back in and zip tie it out of the way, but I would rather fix this now in the tune since I will fine tune the rom and keep it for my pump gas map.

P0420 cat efficency needs to be disabled.

i think rear 02 also used for lean cruise mode and if removed completly can cause cruise economy to drop

Yup, I forgot to mention 420.. I found the others when I got home:

P013A
P013B
P013E
P013F
P0296
P0297

Economy... whats that

Seriously though, I have been tweaking and logging on this platform since the day BRZedit was released and I have never once seen any sings of a lean cruise function.. Not saying it doesn't exist, just saying I have never seen evidence of it. I spent days paying around with the various compensation tables etc. From what I have seen the only reason for the rear 02 is keep the cat happy and emissions low.. neither of which matter to me since the cat is gone and I run corn juice.

If you have any info on getting lean cruise working in closed loop, I am all ears because I do think it would be a big help with E85. In my previous attempts to get it working I was never able to target a closed loop afr leaner than 14.7:1 with any repeat-ability. The only way I have found to get lean cruise to work is to force open loop in the cruise area and 02 feedback is ignored when open loop.

Economy will drop slightly if you don't modify the AF3 tables to kill the rear 02 closed loop target offset function though.

yeah i reckon you right, its probably just the af3 learn values that need disabling, so you would just set them to zero ?

their was some 02 heater circuit cel codes from memory is that disabled ? but looks like you got those.

^ AF3 correction thresholds and rear O2 comps need to be zeroed.

I haven't tried this but couldn't you rescale the primary O2 sensor to make it think a high like 15.7 AFR was 14.7? You would have to add the induced error to the rest of your closed loop and open loop fuel map you didn't want to run leaner. I don't see why it wouldn't work? Have you tried? you would still have the closed loop enabled. I run my mr2 turbo at about 15.5-15 in the cruising area of the fuel map and it works fine.

That may be the way to do it, but I think you would also have to scale the injectors along with the sensor... you cannot use a value larger than 14.7 in the primary fuel map, if you do it will revert to full rich (from my testing anyway).

So, if you just offset the 02 sensor, you will have to rely on fuel trims to lean you out and the fuel map to richen you bak to stoich in non cruise closed loop areas. You will also have to re work the closed to open loop transition tables (min target afr in particular).

As a proof of concept, it would be easiest to force full time open loop in conjunction with 02 sensor offset and injector rescale.

Just to confirm you only need to zero out the AF#3 when the secondary O2 is removed correct? If the cat is removed but the 2nd O2 is still present I should leave the AF#3 where it is and just turn off the cat efficiency trouble code?

[mad_sb]

So, apparently I am still missing some dtc's or something... Still getting the 13.7 ish closed loop target. It will target 14.7 right after start up, but once you drive it for a few minutes it starts targeting mid 13's. On occasion it will swing back up into the 14's but not often. I took some logs today to review and see if they shed any light on anything.

These are the current changes:

AF3 CL Target Compensation Limits -> High 0.00 | Low 0.00
AF3 Correction Limits -> High 0.00 | Low 0.00
AF3 Learning Limits -> High 0.00 | Low 0.00

and the following DTC set to off:
P0037
P0038
P0137
P0138
P0140
P0141
P013A
P013B
P013E
P013F
P2096 (typo in the earlier post)
P2097 (typo in the earlier post)
P0420

I just plugged the rear 02 back in and zip tied it out of the way. I will see what changes tomorrow if anything. And I have verified my wideband and the factory sensor are reading very similar.

I still think there are some heater circuit dtc's in p004X range that are missing from the deff but I'm not sure.

@Toyota John, assuming you have removed the cat in the header, then I would turn off all of the sensor 2 and post catalyst too lean codes as well as the slow response codes in addition to P0420.

I've got RomRaider defs for the first 2 tables, can someone let me know where the AF3 learning limit table sits in the ROM?

Currently have have LTFT disabled and all delays at zero. I have my closed loop targeting 14.7 and everything I have logged says it stays there.

[mad_sb]

Plugged in the rear 02 sensor.. still getting rich closed loop targets.. at cruise it jumps between 13 and 13.5. When I come to a stop and idle it will hang around 13 for some number of seconds to a minute or so then it jumps back up to 14.7.

I'm gonna try and go back to one of my old pump gas tunes and see if it is something in the OTS map causing the problem.

[mad_sb]

OK, I think it is P0562 system voltage too low that i need to turn off with no rear 02 sensor (and no voltage input to the ecu for the rear 02 signal wire).

Lots of posts on romraider that if there is no rear 02 signal voltage the ecu will go into limp mode and target the rich AFR's i am seeing. Apparently if you feed the ecu a narow band signal, like you would if you replaced teh rear 02 with a wideband, the rich targets immediately go away.

My E85 rom has P0562 and P0563 turned off, but the Def i have for ZA1JA00C only has P0560.. checking with @Td-d to see if he can find 562 and 3 for me.

[mad_sb]

Traded messages with TD-D yesterday, the P0562 and 3 are off by default so those are obviously not the culprit.

The strange thing Is that I plugged the 02 back in days ago and have reflashed twice already and still having this issue.... It 100% started as soon as I flashed back to pump gas, on the very first start up on the pump gas map. I'm starting to think that the problem may be due to turning off too many DTC's or a couple of specific ones anyway.

Last night I spent an hour or so and copied all of the tuned tables out of the pump map I am using and into the E85 map that does not give me this stupid limp mode... will report back.. I hope I jut turned off a couple dtc's that need to stay enabled.

I may also try a hard reset (pull the battery terminal) I can't imagine why that would make a difference but it's worth a shot i guess.
