Default need help with diagnosing the problem

Hey guys i have a 2012 jk sahara and my check engine light came on . I plugged up my code reader and these codes came up

P0420- Catalytic converter system efficiency below threshold (bank 1)
P2098- Post catalyst fuel trim system too lean (bank 2)
P0152- 02 Sensor circuit high voltage (bank 2 sensor 1)
P0420- Catalytic converter system efficiency below threshold (bank 1)
P2098- Post catalyst fuel trim system too lean (bank 2)

Not sure if its the cat or 02 sensors being that the 02 sensors are over a $100 each and the cats are just over $350 each i just don't want to throw parts at it

Also does anyone know if this is covered under factory warranty?

Do a google search for a service bulletin for the 2012 JKs. One of them was a computer update to fix multiple codes.

Check with your dealer. The emission control system is warranted for 8 years/80,000 miles I believe. Not sure the O2 sensors are covered under this but the cats are.

someone recently posted about getting some codes in a 2012. They thought to go down a similar path as you but decided to take it to the dealer and found that the whacky codes were coming from the dreaded bad left head. If I were you, I would do more research before throwing cost as labor into replacing parts.
