    NEED HELP.

    Just bought this car, while driving for the first time, engine light came on, Mileage is 160,000 Km. Scanned the car with tech stream and found these codes.

    P2196

    B1206

    B2321

    B2313

    Its an Air fuel ratio sensor code, could it be something else ? Where this sensor located ? is it under the air box or in the back, can I replace it my self ?

    Cant unlock or roll down passenger door/window, Same with one of the rear windows.
    Passenger door unlock fine when I press PARK. Can roll down passenger and rear window from the switch on those doors, just cant seem to work from master window switch, plus all three windows lights were blinking except driver switch.

    Thanks.

    try cleaning the MAF sensor and throttle body first. Afterwards, disconnect the 12v battery for a minute to reset the car.

    The air/fuel sensor is towards the front of the exhaust manifold. It looks like an oxygen sensor and will require a special tool to remove it.

    with the gen2 cars, it was towards the back of the engine. I don't remember seeing it any different in gen3

    Thanks for the advice.
    Cleaned the throtlebody and MAF. But after doing that, now I am getting Knock Sensor P0328 code, plus the P2196.

    I could not find the Knock Sensor, in pictures they show its on the front of the engine, but I could not locate. I wanted to check if somehow connector got loose or something. because there was no knock sensor code before. car running of but engine light comes on right away with same codes after deleting the code.

    Check all of the fuses for the doors/windows. Could just be a blown fuse.

    I fixed the windows by relearn procedure of windows and all the windows are working fine. My real issue at this time is I have two code P2196 and P0328. I cleaned the MAF and TB in order to try to fix P2196, but after cleaning now I have Knock Sensor P0328, and its keep coming back after deleting the codes. I removed the air box but later find out knock sensor is behind intake manifold which is a lot of work to get access to the knock sensor. I did use sprayed throtle body cleaner a little bit in the TB.

    If there is TB cleaner residue left it will flash and could cause the knock and throw the code. Might want to run some miles off as this might be the cause.
