Hello,
Direct Trouble Code(DTC) P0430 is a power-train DTC for Bank 2 Catalytic Converter efficiency. This DTC sets when the catalytic converter on bank 2 has reached the end of it's useful life expectancy. The fix is to have to catalytic converter replaced. Also, the upstream O2 sensor is supposed to fluctuate in voltage between.01 and.09 volts. The Power-train Control Module(PCM) a.K.A."computer" uses these two O2 sensors, one per bank, usually located in the exhaust manifold, but always before the catalytic converter to maintain the proper air:fuel ratio for your vehicle, 14.7:1. TRhe downstream, or O2 sensors after the catalytic converters are the ones the PCM uses to determine the heal of the catalytic converters and the one on bank 2 of your vehicle is the one setting this DTC. I have included a detailed description of what's going on from the vehicle's manufacturer in the diagrams below. Please go through it and get back to us with what you find out.
Thanks,
Alex
