The issue I see is your post Cat O2 signals are showing that your Cats are not working properly. So the Catalytic converter are suspect the sensors are fine.

Sorry I just went through the thread again and see in post 17 that you ran the O2 sensor data again at a more steady rpm.
But to me your bank 2 post O2 cat sensor still shows that your cat on bank 2 is suspect. maybe not failed but boarderline.

I'm not asking to disagree, it's purely from ignorance I've not ever dealt with a bad cat before and I'm trying to piece together how that would play into what he's dealing with.

Hello and thanks for the follow-ups. Yes, I intend to back pressure test for failing cats when the weather cooperates, probably early this upcoming week. As far as I can tell however, the post-cat O2 sensor does not play with the ECU, so I don't think that could be causing the P1126, but maybe if the cat is failing, that could cause it?

I'll add results as soon as I perform the test. Thanks for the continued interest and inputs!
