Re: Engine light P2097 error code help
From PT Do-It-Yourself.net
You'll notice that there are a number of possible causes for this fault. If you have some experience with automotive repair you may be able to check a few of these possibilities out on your own, however keep in mind that the diagnostics are written for trained auto technicians who also posses the necessary test equipment.
Given that this is an intermittent issue it may be somewhat difficult to accurately diagnose unless you can duplicate the issue. The dealer will experience the same difficultly troubleshooting the issue unless they can reproduce the problem at will. Regrettably, you may have to wait for the component in question to fail before you can obtain an accurate diagnosis.
