No, that code is for the evaporative emissions control system in the fuel tank. It has nothing to do with the catalytic converter.
Yes, it shows that the catalytic converter is not working correctly for bank one. This is an important pollution control item.
Yes
That is behind the catalytic converter.
This light is indicating a emissions problem or failure. The catalytic converter may be operating at low efficiency which is a sign of failure.
Vehicle burning oil? Might not show when converter is installed due to high temperature produced by converter (oil is burned and disipated in converter before getting to tailpipe).
A normal reading for Bank 1 oxygen sensors, typically located before and after the catalytic converter on the side of the engine with cylinder number one, should fluctuate between 0.1 to 0.9 volts in a healthy operating engine. The upstream sensor (pre-catalytic converter) should show rapid changes as the engine's fuel mixture adjusts, while the downstream sensor (post-catalytic converter) should stabilize around 0.5 volts if the catalytic converter is functioning correctly. Consistent readings outside these ranges may indicate issues with the sensors, fuel mixture, or the catalytic converter.
A catalytic converter in a 2006 Nissan Frontier is a cylindrical or oval-shaped metal component typically located along the exhaust system, between the engine and the muffler. It is covered with a heat-resistant shield and may have a honeycomb structure inside to facilitate the conversion of harmful exhaust gases into less harmful emissions. The converter is usually made of stainless steel and may show signs of wear or corrosion over time.
It could be burning the oil, but if the catalytic converter is working reasonably well it might not show out the exhaust pipe.
A quick check at Autozone.com show they have one at... Are you ready for it(?)... $350 Better hope yours really is not bad. Definitely want a second, heck, make that a third opinion...
AnswerYes, even used. See the EPA link below and show it to the VW dealer. Voluntary warranty extension from 8 years/80,000 (req. by EPA) to 10 years/120K miles. But, if the catalytic converter has ANY visible damage the factory will refuse to honor the warranty. Since it can't be determined if the converter or the damage is the root problem. So before you spend the money to get the technician to determine if it is covered check the converter yourself.
Trouble code P0741 means:Torque converter clutch circuit performance or stuck on
The FLASHING light indicates a do not drive situation. This is usually indicative of a misfire. The code will show up and tell you with the use of a code reader. The code will tell you which plug. Most times it is a bad plug or coil pack. The rich condition created by the misfire will melt your catalytic converter if you continue to drive the vehicle. This is why the light flashes.
