Are you sure this wasn't your valve cover gasket leaking? Sometimes those things leak and cause small misfires that mess with the 02 sensors and the cat.

Folks according to the Experts a Vacuum Leak or Exhaust leak before the Catalytic Converter can also cause a P0420 code. A professional scan tool showing live data stream of your O2 sensors is the best way to confirm the malfunction.

I fixed it just by disconnecting the Negative side on the battery 1st. Now find the computer it’s on the side where the battery is. It’s has 3 connectors on it. I disconnected all 3 connectors and cleaned each side male and female connector with CRC 05103 QD Electronic Cleaner. Let it dry 15 minutes. I plugged all 3 back in. I installed negative battery cable. I started and drove the car 50 miles. It never came back. Updated After driving the Engine light did come back. The same error code P0420 came back.

Hello, kindly check if there's any leak to the exhaust manifold, gaskets, and exhaust pipes pre-catalytic converter. Repair the leak, clear the code and complete several drive cycles afterwards. If the issue will continue to persist, please check the voltage reading of the downstream O2 sensor, this will tell you weather catalytic converter needs to be replaced.

Can you put the extension on both up and downstream sensors ???

You're supposed to put it on only the downstream so only the downstream is lower o2 reading.

@ChadHer the brackets should have a thread in the middle like normal o2 sensors I thought. Maybe you didn't realize but it should just screw in the middle of the bracket. If not you could also try.. wiring a capacitor between downstream o2 sensor and your ecm. There's videos for this as well. You can also try adding washers just to make less space for the sensor to poke into your cat. But honestly the way I passed my inspection with my cat code still triggering. I just cleared my engine codes. And got all 5 of 6 codes in ready mode. Than the cat code is the hardest to get in ready mode. So if you go to the shop with the cat sensor not in ready mode they will still pass you since the law let's 1 sensor be not ready.

Hello I have a 2005 Lexus is300 . I have the same code p0420. I had it on once and it went away on its own..it came back few days ago so I took it to my mechanic and he’s telling me that I MUST change the catalytic converter and that There’s no other option. Which sounds like some nonsense to me. I’m not a mechanic myself but come on..There’s gotta be another way. I looked up how much a catalytic converter would cost me and it’s about 1,700 dollars at Oreilys! Can’t believe it. What do you recommend?

Hi Dashty, you can check the exhaust system under your car. It looks like a bulge in the middle of the exhaust piping between the muffler and where the headers connect to the exhaust downpipes. If the bulge is not there, you do not have a catalytic converter.
