2001jaguar 3.0 stype code p0420 and p0430 - 2002 Jaguar S-Type

P0430 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2)

A P0430 is just like a P0420, just on bank 2 instead of bank 1

See this post on how to diagnose a P0420...same procedure as a P0430

As the code description implies the P0430 code means that the vehicle's control module has detected that the three-way catalytic converter is not working properly (is not as efficient as the factory is expecting). Replacing the oxygen (O2) sensors may sometimes fix the code, but in most cases the catalytic convert needs to be replaced to fix the problem. If the P0430 code is combined with other codes, try fixing the other codes first.

P0420 & P0430 You need new catalytic converter
The P0430 check engine light code, like P0420, means the catalyst system efficiency is below the required threshold. Simply put, this means your car is adding more pollution into the air than it's supposed to.

Hi Charlie,
Diagnostic Test Codes (DTCs) P0420 and P0430 ar "Catalyst Efficiency" codes. These simply mean that the catalytic converters in your vehicle are not performing the way they should be. To fix these codes, you will most likely have to replace the converters. However, these codes do NOT indicate why your engine wil not start. There are many things that can cause an engine to not start. Many of which may or may not set fault codes. You need to determine if the engine is getting fuel and ignition first then go from there.

Hi Rabih,

I hate to tell you this, but it is time to stick your hands DEEP into your pockets and get ready to spend the big bucks! Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) P0420 and P0430 are "catalyst efficiency below threshold" codes. The ONLY way to fix them is to replace your catalytic converters. If you also have any other codes, you must fix these FIRST, otherwise you will only destroy new converters as well.

2001 Audi A6
EOBD code: P0420
Fault location: Catalytic converter system, bank 1 - efficiency below threshold
Probable cause: Catalytic converter, wiring, heated oxygen sensor 2 (downstream)

EOBD code: P0430
Fault location: Catalytic converter system, bank 2 - efficiency below threshold
Probable cause: Catalytic converter, wiring, heated oxygen sensor 2 (downstream)

catalytic converter

codes p0420 and p0430 are both post o2 sensors, the ones after the convertor, both sides if replacing

P0420 and P0430 are codes related to the catalytic converter effeciency. The catalyst will need to be replaced $$.
