I have an 06 tj, 4.0, 6 speed. I'm getting the following codes
P0031
P0037
P0051
P0057
I have replaced all 4 O2 sensors, with the proper ntk units, cps, and dual tip platinum plugs. Still have the codes. Any ideas? TIA

Either a short in the wiring harness somewhere or your pre-cats are failing.

One of those two I would guess.

I'm thinking either a bad pre-cat or a bad ECM. Someone else with those exact same four codes even after new NTK O2 sensors too was only able to get rid of them with a replacement computer.

Since I can't quote the post here, this is what it said...

"The problem is hopefully solved; a bad PCM! it was COVERED under federal emissions warranty with 3 months left to go!! I had to get this fixed to pass inspection this month. "

I'd check with www.Wranglerfix.com

'06 LJ 4.0 6 speed and I had the same problem (* no drivability issues at all). I replaced the four O2 sensors with NTKs, checked/cleaned the grounds and reset the computer. A retired CDJ mechanic used his DRB to diagnose a failed/failing PCM. I bought a NOS Mopar PCM and he programmed it. Issue resolved and so far so good. This was before @Wranglerfix was up and running.

It sounds like it could be a pcm issue. Any other symptoms like low idle or completely stalling while driving?
 
No other symptoms, runs great otherwise. Scan tool says "low voltage" after the codes.

Good morning,

How old is your battery? My tech recommends changing it if it is over a year old, even if it tests good.

If it turns out to be the pcm, I can get one coming to you. If it does not solve your issue, I gladly accept returns.

You can call me if you’d like at 866-888-7710 if you would like to talk over type.

Thanks,

Mark
 
Mark, I was just about to email you, my question was what if it is not the pcm, is there a way to check it? If you accept returns then that answers my question. I will try a new battery. If not, I will give you a call. Thank you.

I just went through the same problem as stated. Even replacing all 4 O2 sensors with the correct NHK sensors. I was following a trail that had me thinking it was a ground failure. Long story short, I removed all the PCM connectors and sprayed both sides with a quality electronics contact cleaner and the problem was fixed.
Now I need to replace all the split loom under the hood. The crappy factory split loom has literally disintegrated.

Here are before and after photos. I used good quality electronic contact cleaner and a soft brush to clean away the corrosion on the pins. It required about 3 or 4 cleanings to get them right. If you are getting all 4 O2 sensor heater codes, check this out before you start replacing O2 sensors.
Good Luck
