There is a possibility that your O2 sensor is fouled. The O2 sensor is what reads the exhaust air to fuel ratio. Have it checked..........I would have looked at a bad O2 sensor before i replaced a catalytic converter. There are some cars with O2 sensors before and after the cats, and others just have O2 sensors in front of the cats. I am not sure what you have.
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.
In plain English it means that your catalytic converter is failing.
Catalyst efficiency failure.The catalytic converter has failed.Catalyst efficiency failure.The catalytic converter has failed.
Catalyst efficiency below threshold. (The catalytic converter may be failing.)
Try replacing Catalytic Converter on the opposite side of cylinder 1
Catalyst efficiency below threshold (bank1) You may have a tired catalytic converter on bank 1.
Check for exhaust leaks, test oxygen sensor operation, replace the catalytic converter.
Probably the bank 1 catalytic converter needs replacement.
Trouble code P0420 means: Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)
There is only one catalytic converter, it has probably failed.
Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1). If there is no other engine problems, you may have to replace the bank 1 catalytic converter.
