Trim can of course be pos or neg. O2 reading can't be negative.

Is that an actual print out from the OBD II scanner or is that just a typo on the part of the OP while he was preparing this thread.

If you viewed the video that I posted you will see that for the voltage on the 02 sensor (actual screenshot of Torque Pro live data), starts at 0 and goes from there. It can not go into the negative value. It will be the same as if you drove your X in reverse and the speedometer will read a negative value which we all know it doesn't.

It was showing a negative value.

I don't even know how that's possible to even display much less have an actual negative value. Cross talk from a near-short. If the number still shows neg on the same sensor I would take the DME out and open and clean the traces. I have a photo with the traces that go to the heater controllers: some gunk on the traces or some gunk in the connector could cause an odd reading like that.

Update

After previously posting and doing a clearing of adaptations and DME re-calibration I was still getting the same readings off the OBDII. So, I did the adaptation clearing and DME re-calibration again, this time being very careful to exactly follow the procedures directed by the scanner. The SES light has not returned. A scan of the OBDII is now showing what looks more like normal readings that would be expected. I think I may have solved my problem. Knock wood.

I had same problem/ish and did the same and it worked for like six months and came back. I'm suspecting i now actually have a vacuum leak or bum MAF. I'll probably finally make/rent/buy a smoke tester and if no smoke, i'll swap MAF back from wife's car to see if there is a change.

I did notice in my case that six mo. ago when i originally did like above and swap MAF with wife, the fuel trims were more like +6, ±1% (short/long) and now there are both showing like +5 +7, so the computer is definitely seeing too much air or too little fuel.

what are your fuel trims now showing? if the long term is close to zero i think you're golden. I think i just acquired a new vacuum leak not the same problem returning.
