Gs430 p0420 and p0430


Recommended Posts

Hi I have a cat converter problem with my lexus. I have been trying to figure it out but I cant. Im getting codes p0420 and p0430 and i took it to a exhaust shop to check for leaks but they didnt find anything. Althought, i didnt think they checked under the heat shields. The car drives really smooth and is quiet. So i dont think there could be a leak anyways right?

I reset the engine light, so i took it on a drive to see if it will come back. So while driving it I was constantly checking the "I/M" tab of it seeing if all the moniters would be ready so I might have a chance to smog it. So when the oxygen sensor monitors went from not ready to ready, the p0420 and p0430 code came on as pending. Right when I hit 20 miles, The cat monitor became ready and threw the engine light. The evap monitor was still at "Not Ready" I dont know if this might hint at anything but i just thought ill share it.

So I did live scannings of the o2 sensors, and I dont know how to read them so hopefully someone can tell me if their normal or not.

HI...and welcome to the club!

It looks to me, after watching the video clips that O2 sensor 2 is not reading because of an air leak before the Cat or the sensor body is corroded/damaged.

Best way is to measure the oxygen level on a gas analyser and anything above zero is not good.
