hello i am new to this app and have used this app with a elm bluetooth adapter
i have run a scan today and i have failed on 2 things and dont know what they are car has been running rich on startup and has alot of soot around exhaust and is a bit of a pig while cold and was never like that when i purchased it
car is a vx holden commodore with 5.7l ls1 with cam and some mods
these are the code it tells me it fails
tid $06 CID:$35
LEAN TO RICH SENSOR SWITCH TIME
MAX 65 CURRENT 85
TID $06 CID:$55
LEAN TO RICH SENSOR SWITCH TIME
MAX 73 CURRENT 85
if anybody knows what that means could you please tell me i think i might just change 02 sensors as i am not sure if the have ever been changed
thank you in advance

I have the same question. On test codes I get a TID: $53 CID: $0a max 18,944 current: 45,245. Where do you fine the meaning of these tests codes?

Hi
Be careful with the tests - they do not mean an outright failed sensor (unless a CEL with corresponding code is set). They are very useful to see what's going on in the engine though
O2 sensors can occasionally fail tests (without raising a check engine light) - this is okay, and not normally anything to worry about. If the sensor repeatedly fails the test (*after the engine has warmed up and entered closed loop state*!) then it may indicate an issue.
If your engine is in closed loop, has warmed up, and this sensor is reporting a slow switching time, then it can mean:
* Incorrect mixture
* The sensor is on the way out
* Catalytic converter issues
Most of the time, it's just the sensor. If you don't have a CEL lit or problems realted to it, then you can usually ignore the test.
