You assumed that Code PO420 Catalysis System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1) meant the converter was bad? Not necessarily so. It can be an exhaust leak, defective O2 sensor on bank 1, engine coolant sensor is defective, leaking fuel injector, cylinder misfire, or problem with wiring on O2 sensor.

What does engine code PO420 mean and how do you repair it?

PO420 code indicates Cat converter problem. Could be restricted by carbon or melted or have a fractured brick. Run it by your favorite undercar/exhaust shop and have it checked, many shops will diagnose and estimate for free. If there is a bad cat that's not been impacted and fractured, you must have whatever caused the problem repaired before replacing the cat or you will damage the new one and be doing it again... warranty won't cover it and they're not cheap. Good Luck
