Yea those are some of the weird mini specific ones....and trust me, you won't find any info on them anywhere.

My guess: tune and boost related

I'd say more of my opinion but I'll refrain for once...

Try flashing it to stock map, go drive it around hard, and see if you can get them to pop up again. If not, then put it back to the tuned map, and see if they come back...which most likely they are going to. At which point you make a phone call to Alta

nick, I haven't had any codes except for the catless code my car was throwing, which i cleared with my accessport

As i was driving today, I received two of the same codes you receieved:P2096 and P2ac2. I reset the ecu and cleared the codes, hooked up the Accessport again to check if anything started immediately after I started the car, the only code I got was P2ac2, not the P2096.

The P2ac2 did NOT give me a CEL however. I am also not sure exactly what these codes are or what is producing them (possibly something caused by accessport, just a guess but i have no idea).

Have you been able to figure out what your codes are?

I could not verify what they are...pretty sure they are 02 sensor related. When I installed the dp, I also installed a 02 extension cel fix...just for good measure. After I got the p2096 code I removed the 02 ext and the cel codes have not returned. Hope this helps...

Ya after dong a bit of research, i'm pretty sure they are 02 related as well, especailly the p2096 code. I guess it's say to say that these two codes i am getting are not harmful to my car in any way/no damage is being done. I just hope the car isn't running lean because of it.

your PO96 I guess maybe PO096! If so this is, Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2 circuit range/performance.

Your other 2 codes, I have no idea.

And the P2096 is, Post Catalyst Fuel Trim Sytem Too Lean.

But what is causing my car to run lean? Is there a sensor post cat that I don't know about on my factory jcw exhaust? The only thing behind the primary cat is a long resonator. Anybody have any idea what's causing this CEL and what I can do to fix the problem? Thanks!

According to your signiture, you are running a catless system, if this is the case, the post cat O2 sensor will be getting a wrong oxygen content reading, and this in turn will determine the fuelling, and hence flagging up this code.

I've already been running this catless system for about 6 months and have not gotten this code until now though. I got the regular P0141 code that I was expecting from running catless but that's about it...
