here's the text for the P0420 code...
P0420 After the engine and the catalyst are warmed up, and while the vehicle is driven within the set vehicle and engine speed range, the waveforms of the oxygen sensors (bank 1 sensor 1 and bank 1 sensor 2) have the same amplitude (2 trip detection logic) Trouble area.. Gas leakage on exhaust system Open or short in heated oxygen sensor circuit Heated oxygen sensor Three-way catalytic converter
INSPECTION PROCEDURE HINT: Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame records the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected, when troubleshooting it is useful for determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction. 1 Are there any other codes (besides DTC P0420) being output? YES Go to relevant DTC chart. NO 2 Check gas leakade on exhaust system. NG Repair or replace. OK 3 Check oxygen sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) (See page DI-49 ). NG Repair or replace. OK 4 Check oxygen sensor (bank 1 sensor 2) (See page DI-58 ). NG Repair or replace. OK Replace three-way catalytic converter.
basically it could be either your 02 sensor OR your cat.
