SOURCE: I have a 2004 Mazda

It can be hard to say which it is, because either one will trip the the code, but in this case I'd place my bet on it being the O2 sensor because it says "warm up" - the O2 sensor has to be up to temperature (around 900 degrees) to function. The computer watches for the O2 sensor to heat up in a certain amount of time, and if it doesn't get to temperature soon enough, the computer diagnoses a faulty heater for the O2 sensor and trips the code.

For the record, this would be the secondary O2 sensor, the one after the cat. That's the one that is used to determine cat functionality and efficiency. The primary sensor, before the cat, is used to fine-tune the fuel delivery.

Should be located close to the oil filter. It will screw in like a spark plug. It has a harness plug. Easy to change, save yourself $70 in labor. You will need a fairly large wrench to remove

SOURCE: 1999 Chrysler Sebring Convertible code P1495. I

Code 1495 = Leak Detection Pump Solenoid Circuit

Remove the connector from the solenoid (should be on the back wall, just to the drivers side of the air-hat). You will have the solenoid to check and the harness. What you want to measure is the voltage coming from the harness and the resistance of the solenoid.

Turn the key to the "ON" position but do not start the motor; the voltage at the connector should be at least 10V or more,.now, check the resistance of the solenoid (should be around 35 ohms).

Hope helps.

SOURCE: P0421 warm up catalyst...below threshold (bank

A v-6 or v-8 engine will have two banks. Bank one is the side of the engine with the number 1 cylinder. Bank 2 is the other side of the engine. In your case Bank 1 is cylinders 1-3-5 on the back side of the engine closest to the firewall. Bank 2 is cylinders 2-4-6 on the other side of the engine.

You have two cats bank 1 and bank 2. There are two oxygen sensors before each cat that help determine fuel trim and are refered to as sensor 1 and two oxygen sensors after the cats that monitor cat efficiency and are referred to as sensor 2. The bank 1 sensor 2 O2 sensor is either providing a higher than expected signal or is switching like the sensor 1 O2's. If either of these has occurred the PCM detects that the cat is no longer working as it should and sets the code/turns on the check engine light.

9 times out of 10 it is a cat that has gone bad.

Location & aprox. price for oxygen sensor bank 1, on a chrysler sebring 2004, 2.4liter, dohc, non-convertible?

A four cyl engine only has one bank. So in your case bank one sensor one is in front of the catalytic converter, and sensor two is after the cat.
The sensor can cost from $25 to $85 dollars depending on which one and your location.
Keep in mind the code 420 can be caused by other factors than the O2 sensors.

03 santa fe code p0421 for warm up catalyst below bank 1is it converter sensors whats bank 1 converter location compared to bank 2 is there 2 banks or converters would it be upstream or downstream if it...

If the engine is a V6 (2.7 or 3.5 lit), bank 1 is next to the firewall (right hand) when facing the back of the engine.
If the engine is a 4 cly (I4), there is only one bank and is designated Bank 1 (exhaust manifold).

The catalyst to which the code refers is the UPSTREAM, and there is only ONE upstream cat for any bank.

Clue: Two upstream O2 sensor and two downstream O2 sensors - one before the CAT and one after the CAT. the downstream O2 sensors are identical to their upstream sisters. The only reason for the DOWNstream sensor is to monitor the CAT efficiency (threshold).

The catalyst on either bank is essentially the exhaust manifold which houses the CAT... it is the only CAT to which the code P0421 applies.

Hope that helped

Hi, I need to take my 2001 Mazda 626 4cyln for SMOG check in CA. But its check engine light is on, diagnosed as code P0421. Appreciate your help to fix this problem, or just to pass the check. Thank you.

CODE P0421. DEFINITION-CATALYST EFFICIENCY LOW-BANK 1. EXPLANATION-THE OXYGEN SENSORS MONITOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ABILITY TO STORE OXYGEN. PROBLEM CAUSES- 1. CATALYTIC CONVERTER DEFECTIVE (FAILURE POSSIBLY DUE TO #2,3, OR 4) 2. ENGINE MISFIRE OR RUNNING CONDITION. 3. LARGE VACCUM LEAK 4. ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE INTO EXHAUST-VALVE GUIDE SEALS, PISTON RINGS. THE PCM HAS DETERMINED THAT THE WARM UP CATALYST EFFICIENCY FOR BANK 1 IS BELOW TRESHOLD FOR THE CURRENT ENGINE OPERATING CONDITION. (BANK 1 IDENTIFIES THE LOCATION OF CYLINDER #1, WHILE BANK 2 IDENTIFIES THE CYLINDERS ON THE OPPOSITE BANK).

replace O2 sensors, or your Catalytic Converter.

I am getting a P0031, P1512, & P0421 code

P0031 - most likely pointing to a failed O2 sensor (bank 1 sensor 1 is located before the catalytic converter)

P0421 - failed catalytic converter or a failed O2 sensor

P1512 - intake manifold shutter valve is stuck - may be caused by the O2 sensor, but may not

I recommend replacing your O2 sensor first and see what happens

2001 Hyundai Santa Fe - Code P0421 Help!?

code p 0421 refers to warm up cat converter bank 1 --- efficiency below threshold ===causes ---cat converter---wiring ---HO2S (heated oxygen sensor )
there are not 4 oxygen sensor as you have been told but just 2 oxygen sensors located after each of the cat converters
The other 2 are heated oxygen sensor which are located in the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe before the cat converters
heated oxygen sensors do a completely different job to the O2 sensors in that they report to the ECM, the combustion gas mixture so the the ECM can adjust the mixture for max performance
The oxygen sensors (O2) read what is left after the cat converters have done their job and report to the ECM so that it can fine tune the mix
IF you didn't replace the correct cat converter then that will make the code come back
If you just replaced the O2 sensor , well that doesn't even figure in the problem
