Default Exhaust Code questions

2015 Sportster 48
FuelPak

P0051
P0054

Are these contradictory?

Front pipe is blue
Rear pipe not

I tried to autotune but it kept telling me the engine was cold.
When I checked engine temp it said 361 (seems way too hot)

I changed the gasket in the rear. Still codes. MPG had DROPPED.

Anything I should be checking before I buy a new sensor?
Could the Fuelpak not be programmed correctly?

Not contradictory, both indicate some type of a problem with the rear O2 sensor.
MPG will drop because the ECM always thinks the motor is cold, adding more fuel as a result.

Possible causes:
  • Damaged or disconnected electrical connector at the oxygen sensor
  • Faulty O2 sensor
  • Faulty or shorted wiring in the oxygen sensor circuit
  • Vacuum leak on the engine
  • Excessive exhaust leaks
  • Faulty catalytic converter
  • Faulty ECU (Engine Control Unit), in rare cases

I'll check the obvious stuff again, but I'm guessing I'll get a new sensor as they are not expensive. After that it's a trip to the dealer. I've never been. Have a professional look at it.

Default Result

Put in a new O2 sensor and it was fixed. It was immediate.

All back together and running good.

Thank you for your help
