The P0420 diagnostic trouble code indicates that the catalytic converter on Bank 1 is not operating efficiently.
In simple terms, this means the catalytic converter is not properly reducing harmful exhaust emissions.
When the P0420 code appears, your Check Engine Light will turn on.
In most cases, the vehicle may still drive normally, but the issue should not be ignored.
P0420 is one of the most common emissions-related trouble codes worldwide.
