Symptom:
P-0420 1/1 CATALYTIC CONVERTER EFFICIENCY
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P-0420 1/1 CATALYTIC CONVERTER EFFICIENCY
When Monitored: After engine warm up to 63 degrees C (147 degrees F), 180 seconds of
open throttle operation, at a speed greater than 30 Km/h (20 mph), with the engine at
1200-1700 rpm and MAP vacuum between 15.0 and 21.0 inches of mercury (Hg).
Set Condition: As catalyst efficiency deteriorates, the switch rate of the downstream O2
sensor approaches that of the upstream O2 sensor. If at any point during the test the
switch ratio reaches a predetermined value a counter is incremented by one.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
EXHAUST LEAK
