Default Power commander5 and bad O2sensor

2007 xl883l EFI- had to put O2 "s back in circuit and now throws po132 code-clear it and after 10 minutes ride comes back. Both O2 were new OEM from 'the theives'- Maps are from Dyno for my set up- no 300$ to DYNO the bike- Anyone else have any PC3or5 probs?

thanx tom

No problems with my PC5 for many years with no O2's hooked up.
Need more background info, when did just install the PC5 or have you had it for a while and this is new? What caused you to put the O2's back?, they should not be hooked up when using the PC5.

Dynojet support says "don't use O2 eliminators anymore-" they don't even sell them anymore- they told me to hook up the in pipe OEM O2 sensors- had to buy 2 OEM sensors from Harley- now im throwing a code PO132- so I am removing the PC5 And run it till hot to see if I get another code- if so new O2 sensor as the dealer wont honor the new O2 warranty because -stupid me- mentioned the PC5-like it generates 1000 volts dc!

Oh I didn't know about them not using the eliminators anymore, so this is a new install of the PC5 then? the bike was running perfect before you did the install?

sorry-no bought used and the PC5 was in it- just pulled it and reflashed the ECM all codes clear-like I said when the newO2 sensor gets here and I install it we will see what's up. But -yes check with Dynojet some parts are no longer sold for the PCseries- as of just several months back you can buy thos eliminators on ebay but you don't know what your getting- and Dynojet had loop problems so they did away with them and went back to OEM O2.

One reason I was asking is because the 07-09's had issues with corrosion in the fuse box, mine did and I was getting all kinds of odd electrical issues & codes. I pulled all the fuses and the two black relays and cleaned the sockets in the fuse box with an emery board and installed new fuses with di-electric grease and had no electrical gremlins since then. Lots of people with 07-09's on here have had to do the same thing.
You might want to do yours, the issues your having may or may not be related but it's a good thing to check anyway.

Thank you for your help- I pulled all that stuff prior and used CRC contact cleaner and a toothbrush on that board -but maybe I didn't reach the back- Ill recheck and thanx for the help-I don't mind if its a bad part-things fail right outa the box sometimes-its just this kind of problem -as with life- is often long and hit and miss-enough musing! tomorrow I should have the new O2 and the front is a devil, and I have all the right tools! Once in and a ride will tell-thanx again and lots of drunks out so beware!
