Inspection Procedure

HINT: 

• If a malfunction cannot be found when troubleshooting DTC P0420 or P0430, a lean or rich abnormality may be the cause. Perform troubleshooting by following the inspection procedure for P0171 or P0174 (System Too Lean) and P0172 or P0175 (System Too Rich).
• After performing repairs, drive the vehicle in accordance with the driving pattern described in Confirmation Driving Pattern and check if DTC P0420 or P0430 is output again. If a DTC is output again, replace the catalyst if it has not been replaced already.
• Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
• Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder*.

  *: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transmission.

• Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.

• Sensor 2 refers to the sensor farthest away from the engine assembly.
