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

P0171 and P0174 indicate a lean condition, meaning the engine is receiving too much air or not enough fuel. P0401 signals an issue with the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, specifically insufficient flow. P0420 points to a problem with the catalytic converter's efficiency. Each code suggests a different area of concern that may need diagnostic testing and repair.
