P0420Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)
Oto co oznacza kod usterki P0420, dlaczego się pojawia i co z nim zrobić.
Układ: Catalyst / emissions
Zwykle można bezpiecznie przejechać krótki dystans, ale jak najszybciej zleć to sprawdzić.
Co oznacza P0420
The computer compares the oxygen sensors before and after the catalytic converter on bank 1 to judge how well it is cleaning the exhaust. This code means the converter on bank 1 is no longer working efficiently enough. Most often the catalytic converter itself is worn out, but a faulty sensor or an exhaust leak can also trigger it.
Typowe objawy
- Check engine light on
- Often no change in how the car drives
- Possible mild loss of power or rotten-egg (sulfur) smell
- Reduced fuel economy in some cases
- Will fail an emissions test
Typowe przyczyny
Uporządkowane od najczęstszych do najrzadszych.
- 1Worn-out or failing catalytic converter (bank 1)
- 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
Co zrobić
You can usually keep driving short distances; this is an emissions code, not an immediate safety risk. However, have it diagnosed before replacing the costly converter, because an exhaust leak, a bad sensor, or an unresolved misfire can cause it. Fixing any upstream problem first prevents ruining a new converter.
