Hmmm....What year/model is the vehicle? I've seen this code thrown a few times for a bad front A/F sensor ( not saying thats the problem here)...do you currently have any drivability problems...rough idle? lack of power? etc....

Look for an air leak after the MAF sensor on the driver's side of the engine in the intake or exhaust area before the O2 sensor.

no running problems idle ok power ok also .

 

could it be a o2 sensor going bad ??

so this is a U5 car...it prob. has the 3 piece intake manifold and the triangle shaped exhaust ports in the heads....hmmm...as mentioned check for intake/vacuum leaks also check for exhaust leaks..If you have the means I would also check the IAT/MAF/CTS sensors...all vital engine sensors that could throw numerous codes..

I'm going to data log it when i get a chance

 

 

of all codes just never seen this one :-\

reviving this dusty old post.

I got the p2098 on my 05 auto outback.

any update on this old problem?

I suggest you check for an air leak in the exhaust on the bank 2 side.
