Tech description
As the code description implies the P0430 code means that the vehicle’s control module has detected that the three-way catalytic converter is not working properly (is not as efficient as the factory is expecting). Replacing the oxygen (O2) sensors may sometimes fix the code, but in most cases the catalytic convert needs to be replaced to fix the problem. If the P0430 code is combined with other codes, try fixing the other codes first.
When is the obd code mean?
If a condition exists which causes the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to detect excessive Bank 2 HO2S #2 activity outside of an acceptable range for an extended period of time, the PCM will set the P0420 code. This indicates that the three-way catalytic converters oxygen storage capacity is below a threshold considered acceptable.
Symptoms
– Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
