Hello im vincent, my check engine light came on. I have a obdII scanner, and it read code p0420. Catalyst system efficiency below threshold (bank 1). Does that mean I have to replace my catalytic converters. My vehicle is equipped with a dirrect exhaust manifold converter and a secondary catalytic converter, or should I replace both of the oxygen sensors. I hope you could give me a better opinion of what could I do. Thank you.

Hi vincent ascencio,

It is difficult to pinpoint which to go for but since the catalytic converters are deemed to be faulty, do a visual inspection on them and if you see any clogging etc, they should be replaced.
