Hi there,

The P0420 code means the catalytic converter is not working as good as it should. This is usually the fault of the converter and the converter will require replacement. Sometimes other issues can cause the code. A poorly running engine, an exhaust leak or a faulty rear O2 sensor can cause the code to appear as well.
