the trouble code you have received actually means that the oxygen sensor is reading that your catalytic converter (which breaks down harmful emissions ) is no longer operating properly. Either the oxygen sensor is faulty and is giving a incorrect reading,which means you must repalce it, or the catalytic converter is faulty, and must be replaced.

Where is the catalyst efficiency below threshold bank 1 located in a 1999 dodge ram 1500 with a 5.9 motor?

There is only one catalytic converter, it has probably failed.


Where is the oxygen sensor located on 2006 Chevy Equinox?

Oxygen sensors are located on before and after the catalyst converter on top of the tipe pipes and after the catalyst converter on the side. It looks like a spark plug.


Where is the oxygen sensor loacted on 5.3l vortech engine code P0430 catalyst efficiency below treshold bank 2?

There should be 4 02's on your vehicle, 1 up stream of each catalytic converter and one located down stream or just behind each converter, your code indicates the right side converter needs replacement due to it's lack of efficiency or minimal operation.


Where ARE the oxygen sensorS located on a 1996 Monte Carlo Z34 34L?

The location for the O2 sensor(s) are on the exhaust manifold in front(before catalyst, catalytic converter) for checking emissions from combustion chamber or behind (after catalyst) for analyzing emissions from the catalytic converter.


1998 Mazda MPV O2 Censor location?

You can locate the O2 Censor(s) yes there is 2 of them one on the bank one catalyst converter under the vehicle just before the converter itself and the second one is on the bank two catalyst converter. They're located in the pipes on the top part of the pipes.


Does my 2003 dodge ram 2500 diesel have a catalytic converter?

Yes, your 2003 ram diesel has a catalytic converter. The converter is located under the cab.


Where is main catalyst sensor located on 2001 Jeep Cherokee?

catalyst is measured by readings from both primary and secondary oxygen sensors. On V8 engines you may have bank 1 and bank 2 depending on year of vehicle if you have a cat efficiency low code most likely it is the converter itself I have had to replace a lot of them but it is best to verify with a scan tool ASE certified master tech / L1


Where is oxygen sensor located on 2001 Jeep Wrangler?

2.5L and 4.0L Federal Emissions - 1 oxygen sensor located between manifold and catalytic converter. One located after catalytic converter. 4.0L California Emissions - 2(1 per cat) located before each mini catalyst by the manifold. 2(1 per) located after each mini cat in the down pipe.


Where is the oxygen sensor located on a Ford 3.0 engine code p0430 catalyst system efficency below threshold bank 2?

Bank 2 is whatever side of the engine that doesn't contain cylinder 1 in it. Bank 2 Sensor 2 is located after the catalytic converter on bank 2. Sounds to me that the B2S2 (Bank 2 Sensor 2) is doing its job. It's the cat that can't clean up the emissions for whatever reason.


Where is the bank 2 sensor 2 oxygen sensor located on a 1997 ford explorer 4.0L SOHC?

bank 2 is the drivers side of the engine sensor 2 is downstream of the catalytic converter ( after the exhaust has passed through the catalytic converter - called a catalyst monitor )


Check engine light: Reading stated catalyst effeciency below threshold?

The catalyst moniter is the rear oxygen sensor located after the catlytic converter. It sole job is to moniter whether the cat is performing corectly. It does this by comparing it's gas readings to the front (before cat) oxygen sensor readings. If it sees readings too similar to that of the front sensor, the vehicles computer(PCM) concludes that the cats are not changing the exaust gases thus are not doing their job. A catalyst moniter code can be set for 2 reasons. 1) that the catalyst moniter has failed (not typical) or 2) that the catalytic converter has lost it's catalystic properties, and is no longer working. This latter is usually the case, and requires the replacement of the catalytic converter. You can diagnose a failed cat with a scan tool that is equipped with scan display data. You can watch the voltages from the front and rear O2 sensors, after fully warming up the engine, and see if they follow each other too closely. It will be appearant, because if the catalytic converter is working properly, the rear O2 sensor will switch will have very little fluctuation in voltage, while the front will be constantly switching from near o volts to nearly a volt, several times a minute.
