Repair Verification
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC.
- Verify if DTC P0420 has passed or failed this ignition cycle with the scan tool.
- If 6 tests have been attempted and the DTC has not run or passed during this key cycle, turn the key to OFF for 30 seconds, then run the test a second time.
- A maximum of 12 tests per key cycle will run if each test is a combination of passed, failed, or aborted tests.
- After a code clear, the catalyst test will run once if the test is a pass.
- Allow the engine to return to a stabilized idle. Keep the vehicle in DRIVE.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT touch the accelerator, the HVAC, or the steering wheel while a catalyst test is in progress.
