P2242
O2 Sensor Positive Current Control Circuit High Bank 2 Sensor 1
DTC P2242, sometimes indicated as P224200 is an OBD diagnostic trouble code indicating a manufacturer-specific fault with the vehicle powertrain (i.e. engine and gearbox). This code identifies an error with the air/fuel mixture causing o2 sensor positive current control circuit high bank 2 sensor 1.
This code is set when the PCM detects that the O2 sensor positive current control circuit is high. This could be caused by a bad O2 sensor, a wiring issue, or a problem with the PCM.
If you are getting this code, first check to see if the O2 sensor is bad. If it is, replace it. If the sensor is good, check the wiring and connectors for any damage or corrosion. If everything looks good, then you may need to replace the PCM.

2020 FORD EXPLORER with 8000.0 miles
I have a 2020 Explorer limited edition, with just over 10,000 miles. Since i got it, i noticed that shifting from 2-4 gear was pretty rough, and jerky. About 2 months ago, i left the driveway, heard a thud when i put it in d, and it didn't move. I hit the gas harder, and it moved, but would not leave 1st gear. Got a check engine light. Turned it off, waited a while, tried it again, and it drove fine, but check engine light was still on. The car drove fine for a couple of weeks. The check engine light went off the next day. 2 weeks later, i took it out of the drive, put it in drive and again, it wouldn't leave first gear. Put the car back in the garage, waited a while, and it was fine. Called the dealer, and scheduled an appt because i can't have these serious issues continue. My concern was that they won't be able to duplicate the issue, and just send me on my way. Needless to say, they ran several diagnostics tests, and found some issues/codes. They performed a pinpoint test trace and found codes P062C, P2242. They then performed tsb 20-2217 again, and the codes were clear. For a short time after, the jerkiness in the shifting of the gears went away, however that has since returned. Stopping and starting, and driving especially in neighborhoods, is very frustrating. It is uncomfortable to say the. Least, the very aggressive shifting, and jerking of the vehicle at low speeds. I have not yet had the same issue where the vehicle refused to change gears, or was stuck without moving, however the transmission as a whole is very problematic, and somewhat scary to drive.
