Symptom:
P0420-1/1 CATALYTIC CONVERTER EFFICIENCY
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P0420-1/1 CATALYTIC CONVERTER EFFICIENCY
When Monitored: After engine warm up to 70ÉC (158ÉF), 180 seconds of open throttle
operation, at a speed greater than 18 mph and less than 55 mph, with the engine at
1200-1700 rpm and MAP vacuum between 15.0 and 21.0 inches of mercury (Hg).
Set Condition: As catalyst efficiency deteriorates, the switch rate of the downstream O2
sensor approaches that of the upstream O2 sensor. If at any point during the test the
switch ratio reaches a predetermined value a counter is incremented by one.

following list may help in identifying the intermittent condition.
A new rear O2 Sensor along with a aging front O2 Sensor may cause the DTC to set.
Review repair history of the vehicle and repair as necessary.
With the engine running at normal operating temperature, monitor the DRB
parameters related to the DTC while wiggling the wiring harness. Look for param-
eter values to change and/or a DTC to set.
Review the DRB Freeze Frame information. If possible, try to duplicate the
conditions under which the DTC was set.

When Monitored and Set Condition:
P0460-FUEL LEVEL UNIT NO CHANGE OVER MILES
When Monitored: TEST #1: With the ignition on, the fuel level is compared to the
previuos key down after a 20 second delay. TEST #2: The PCM monitor the fuel level at
ignition on.
Set Condition: TEST #1: If the PCM does not see a difference in fuel level of greater than
0.1 volt the test will fail. TEST #2: If the PCM does not see a change in the fuel level of
