Hello thanks for using 2CarPros, the oxygen sensors and fuel trims need to be looked at on a live data stream. A stuck/failing oxygen sensor or a failing catalytic converter can cause higher CO readings. A stuck oxygen sensor will trick the ECM into going rich and possibly damaging the catalytic converter.
