My thought is it might be time to replace the O2 sensor(s), the code being for the downstream sensor. As KellyfromVA posted a couple years ago, "Assuming you have the factory-installed O2 sensors, I would replace them first. At 137K, it's past due anyway." The first step would be to have someone do a diagnosis. With newer car designs they fail less often, but some fail in the 50-60K range while others run the life of the car. The code indicates the car is running lean, which can be an exhaust leak, intake leak, or anything causing the engine to run lean... or the sensor failing.
If you choose to replace it yourself, buy one of good quality. I will never trust another cheap O2 sensor after it cost me $1000 for a shop to diagnose a faulty AutoZone O2 sensor I'd installed. I'd ordered a Bosch but the tech said someone must have swapped them in the box (while giving me a "sure you did" look).👍 2- Top

What are the Possible Causes of the P2096 Code?
The lean fuel-air mix that triggered the code P2096 can originate from various issues within the vehicle. Here are some of the most common:
Fuel delivery issues (e.g., clogging in the filter and injectors, a bad fuel pump, and a faulty fuel pressure regulator)
Engine vacuum leak
Exhaust leak that’s creating a false lean condition (leaks can be caused by corroded exhaust systems, cracks in exhaust manifold, and damaged or displaced seals)
Faulty catalytic converter
Bad oxygen sensor
Circuit issues (e.g., damaged wiring or loose connections)
Bad or failing Mass Airflow sensor
Problem with the PCM (rare)👍 2- Top
