I'm new to the Viper world but have a pretty decent history with performance cars. I recently purchased an 04 Viper Srt-10 and installed belanger headers and belanger high flow catted exhaust. The sound and performance is great as you all probably know but I recently got a CEL. I ran a scanner on it and turned out to be an O2 sensor code. Until I can get the car on a better diagnostic tool I will not know which one is failing. Is this a common problem? The car has 25k miles on it and is bone stock other than the exhaust. Can I delete the rear 02s with an SCT tuner or are they needed to calibrate the a/f in the ecu? I was thinking of buying a preprogrammed Roe performance SCT tuner. Any suggestions or tips appreciated

Common for the rear o2's to bring a code after a Belanger install, it's no big deal. (on gen3 even more on gen4 ). Check the o2's wires and make sure they well insulated and arn't pinched,cut or burned. If you have room install a "spark plug anti-fouler" in the rear o2 bung first.

Thanks for the info. I found out it's bank 2. Which side is bank 2? I'm assuming passenger side. Is there the ability to fix this with an SCT tune? Any kind of plug in harness in between the O2 and engine harness to fool the ecu like other vehicles? I had an 04 Cobra I did this on after installing a cat-less X pipe. If I replace the sensor is it likely to happen again? Sorry for all the questions but as I said i'm real new to Vipers and i'm sure there's lots of knowledge ot his site I could benefit from

I'm going to check the O2 wiring this weekend also once I can get it on my lift. Maybe I can see it from underneath without pulling the side skirt again. I installed the supplied heat wraps that were included from belanger. Hopefully that was enough

Pulled the o2 this morning and heat shield wrap had a burn in it where it was touching the pipe but what more concerned me was the exposed wiring where the wires meet the sensor. Looks like I was a little too rough removing it. I ordered a bosch replacement and my CEL will most likely be gone for now

It is sticking out too far and the insulation from the sill is rubbing the wire apart..... common problem and they still haven't fixed it. Buting a new sensor and installing won't stop the problem. Only fix is simms.:cursin:

Great! Where can I purchase simulators for when this happens again? I've done a little reading on here and it sounds like sometimes they don't do the job very well. Is an SCT dyno tune capable of deleting them?
