P0430Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2)
Ecco cosa significa il codice di errore P0430, perché si verifica e cosa fare.
Sistema: Catalyst / emissions
Di solito è sicuro guidare per brevi tragitti, ma fallo controllare al più presto.
Cosa significa P0430
Same as P0420 but for bank 2 (the cylinder bank that does not contain cylinder #1). The computer compares the oxygen sensors before and after the bank 2 catalytic converter and found it is no longer cleaning the exhaust efficiently. Usually the converter is worn out, though a bad sensor or exhaust leak can also be the cause.
Sintomi comuni
- Check engine light on
- Often no change in how the car drives
- Possible rotten-egg (sulfur) smell or mild power loss
- Reduced fuel economy in some cases
- Will fail an emissions test
Cause comuni
Elencate dalla più comune alla meno comune.
- 1Worn-out or failing catalytic converter (bank 2)
- 2Failed or lazy downstream O2 sensor
- 3Exhaust leak before or near the converter or sensors
- 4Engine running rich/lean or misfiring, damaging the converter
- 5Aftermarket or low-quality converter that doesn't meet spec
- 6Oil or coolant contamination of the converter
Cosa fare
You can usually drive short distances; this is an emissions code, not an urgent safety problem. Have it diagnosed before buying a converter, since a sensor fault, exhaust leak, or misfire can cause it. Fix any upstream engine issue first to avoid damaging a replacement converter.
