It means the convertor is not acting well enough to remove noxious gases.
Catalyst efficiency below threshold, your catalytic converter may have failed.Catalyst efficiency below threshold, your catalytic converter may have failed.
It means that the catalytic converter is not working properly.
It means that the catalytic converter is not performing to specifications and should be replaced.
In plain English it means that your catalytic converter is failing.
Catalyst efficiency below threshold. (The catalytic converter may be failing.)
Trouble code P0420 means: Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)
The catalytic converter for bank one is not working properly. Either a exhaust leak, a failed O2 sensor, or a failed cat.
from what i have read and can find out it is catalyst system below threshold bank 2.it is a catalytic converter problem some say it could be an oxygen sensor. i have the same code on my expedition.i haven't figured out if it's the converter yet
Catalytic converter failure.Catalytic converter failure.
Catalyst efficiency failure.The catalytic converter has failed.Catalyst efficiency failure.The catalytic converter has failed.
Code P0420 means "Catalyst System Efficency Below Threshold (Bank 1)" P0420 is actually Catalyst System Efficiency Below ThresholdCatalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold. Bank 1 is the side of the engine with cylinder #1. This code means that the catalytic converter is not cleaning the exhaust properly or the oxygen sensors are sending false info to the computer.
Code P0420 means "Catalyst System Efficency Below Threshold (Bank 1)" P0420 is actually Catalyst System Efficiency Below ThresholdCatalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold. This means that the secondary O2 sensor detects that the catalytic converter isn't working as efficiently as it should. This engine code can be triggered by any one of the following:1.) The catalyst in the catalytic converter is cracked, clogged, or otherwise damaged.2.) The secondary O2 sensor is malfunctioning.3.) There is an exhaust leak.4.) The computer unit is faulty.Trouble code P0420 means: Catalyst Efficiency Below Normal (Bank 1)
