EDUCATE YOURSELF: HERE'S THE EXPLANATION OF YOUR DIAGNOSTIC CODE

Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold' - P0420 Code

Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1) - is one of several trouble codes that fall into the general exhaust system code block.

All P042X codes (where "X" can be any number) refer to the catalytic converter and exhaust system. P0420 refers to the catalytic converter or - more specifically - the oxygen (O2) sensors before and after it on the bank 1 side of the exhaust system.

Exhaust System Schematic

On most vehicles, there is an O2 sensor both in front (upstream) and behind (downstream) the catalytic converter. Normally, these two O2 sensors will have different readings when the car is running. The upstream sensor should have a fluctuating oxygen level, dependent on the amount of exhaust being created and the engine's fuel consumption rate.

As the exhaust gases enter the catalytic converter, they should be "scrubbed" (or converted). When these gases are read by the second (downstream) O2 sensor, oxygen readings should be relatively steady. Thus, when your vehicle is functioning properly, the reading from the first O2 sensor to the second should be quite different.

However, if the readings taken by the O2 sensors before and after the catalytic converter are the same (or very similar), the P0420 code will trip.

Most of the time, a similar reading means that the catalytic converter is not working as efficiently as it should be. However, this trouble code can also trigger when things upstream are not doing well. As a general rule, if your engine trips a P0420 code along with other upstream trouble codes, the problem you're having likely isn't related to the catalytic converter.

However, if the P0420 code is the only trouble code - or if the other codes are all P042X codes - the likelihood of a failed catalytic converter is much higher.

Likely Causes For P0420 Trouble Code
Leaded fuel in an unleaded system will nearly always trigger this, given the differing properties of leaded fuel combustion and exhaust.
Failed O2 sensors or connections are also possible culprits.
A failed catalytic converter.
Other less likely problems: an issue with the coolant temperature sensor, an exhaust manifold leak, a spark timing issue, leaking fuel injectors, misfires, or fuel oil contamination.
Because there are a lot of possible problems that could cause a PO420 code, it's a good idea to check the (far cheaper) oxygen sensors and other items before you invest in a new catalytic converter.

Enlightening stuff. Thank you for sharing

Kelvin30286063:

The first 3 set of codes are the same.
A P0420 code indicates a problem with the catalytic converter. The purpose of the catalytic converter is to break down harmful pollutants created during the combustion cycle.

Second code is triggered probably because of the first ones. It means there's a problem with your engine. It pointed out ABS and others so check that.

Thank you so much, very helpful.

My mechanic told me that they removed the catalyst and we need to replace it. I doubt him because it doesn't show the "check engine" warning on my dashboard. I thought this is what happens when catalyst is removed

Family / Re: She Told Me A Very Dark Secret, Should I Still Marry Her? by TechWalker007: 9:54am On Jul 22, 2017
Nerdg:
She told me of being pregnant and later had a stillbirth at the 7months.

The background.
I met her when we were teens and have always loved her. She refused me sex and along the line, her neighbor gave me (who is her relation). She learnt about this and we had our first break up.
We both got admission into different universities and couldn't see again.
We later met again and settled with a condition that there would be no sex. This didn't go down well with me and I called it off. This repeated and there was even a time I walked her out of my house because of this issue and didn't give her tfare. My house is like 1hr drive from where she lives.
The issue:
I love this girl to the extent that anytime I thought of getting married, she will come to mind.
Now I have a good job and she's done with school. I proposed to her and she accepted it.
Is about 3 months now, she came on my birthday 3 months ago. That was all. She doesn't come always because she stays with her elder brother and can't leave house just like that.

Note, we haven't had sex till now.

About 2 weeks ago, I told her about how I got a girl pregnant and we had to abort it and that since then I haven't been myself. That it pains me to this day. We talked about it and she was sorry over it.

Yesterday, we had a very deep discussion and she revealed to me that she had a relationship at school. They were together for 4yrs. I then asked her if she had ever missed her period. She said yes. But not to this school boyfriend but another man. She wanted to keep the pregnancy but her parents refused because the guy is not a good person. The guy wanted the pregnancy but her family didn't want the guy to marry her. She finally had a stillbirth at the 7th month.

I was stunned. I know she's not a virgin, she told me but I was confused. Sex had always been our problem and I never expected that she had experienced something like this. Now she asked me that she hope she won't regret telling me this. I told her no that she won't regret but I'm stunned.

Please should I still go on with this marriage?


Why do you want to marry? I mean not just this girl but what is your purpose for marriage?
I am a married man and i had to learn that "Love" should never be the reason for marriage. Thank God I married the right person, not everyone has this "luck".
Purpose must supersede love. Get your purpose straight and you'll know exactly the kind of lady you want to keep as wife.

The only sensible post I've read in this thread. We have very dull set of youths supporting APC/Buhari.

This same government explained how Buratai (who receives less than this justice officially) bought Dubai properties with his "savings" that is more than his 100yrs salary (and he has not served up to 30).

Politics / Re: Fashola Inspects 40 Mega Watt Hydro- Power Plant In Taraba (photo) by TechWalker007: 9:46am On Oct 28, 2016
phoenix90:
A project initiated by GEJ's govt. I just don't understand why the man has been vilified so much despite his giant strides. Well posterity is still out with the gavel. http://www.blackborderbuild.com/industry--services/kashimbila-hydropower-station-taraba

Don't mind these zombies. Everything GEJ initiated was bad and insignificant then, but when APC leaders VISIT the sites, it becomes "Sai Buhari! Nigeria will be great again!"

As at 2014, we had about 95% completion but zombies will give Buhari credit.

The Kashimbila Hydropower Station, being constructed in Taraba State, is a 40 MW Multipurpose Dam. Feasibility and the detailed designs for the dam was executed by International firm Aurecon. The dam was initially slated for 18 MW capacity, but following further studies, was expanded to 40 MW. The dam also includes other components such as a water supply intake and a water treatment plant, Construction at the site has attained 95% completion. The plant will be able to deliver water to 400,000 people and will also be able to service 2000 hectares of farmland, with irrigation, assisting 8000 people.



Even Tinubu's newspaper, The Nation wrote about this during GEJ and confirmed it was 95% complete, but no, zombies must praise Buhari.
Someone should tell Fashola and Buhari to stop trying to take credit for GEJ's projects. They should do something with the N6 trillion they budgeted and stop making it look like they spent the monies on already completed projects.

Inside Kashimbila dam

Michael Rolbin has spent the last three years working on the Kashimbila dam almost twenty four hours every day. As the Project manager of the SCC managed multi-billion naira Kashimbila dam project, the successful completion of the project rests on his judgement.

“This is my home,” he said, waving his hand in a semi circle to indicate the construction site. He was standing on top of the dam with officials from the Ministry of Water Resources and Tourism. “We have been working here for 24 hours for two years. This is hard work.”

Rolbin did not exaggerate. When the project was first inaugurated in 2007, the construction company moved to site and began the foundation work. But, government was to abandon the project until 2010 when President Goodluck Jonathan resuscitated the project, a December 2014 deadline was set and since then, it has been a race against time.
.
.
.
According to Rolbin, work on the dam is 95 per cent completed. One of the iconic sights is the massive turbines, which will generate 40 megawatts of electricity. There are four turbines each with installed capacity to generate 10megawatt electricity.

Splendid!! This is the best thing the Judiciary has done so far to checkmate the tyranical govt of Buhari and to stop the further use of propaganda by this govt.

Second will be to order all judges to throw out any FG case against alleged corrupt people until they start obeying court orders.

Phones / Re: The Truth About Mtn's Awuf4u Package by TechWalker007: 1:00pm On Oct 20, 2016
adebobconed:
While surfing the internet in search of a good recharge package on MTN, I came across the Awuf4u pack whereby you load airtime with *888*pin# and you get 3 times bonus plus your original voucher value. It looked attractive so I gave it a try(though I doubted if it would profit me since MTN is involved) with a #100 recharge.

Truthfully I was given (100 * 3) 100 = #400, but it was in a separate account other than the main account (thats not really an issue though).
I decided to make an experimental voice call for analytical purposes and below is my discovery:

I called for 10 seconds and was charged #4.95
therefore a minute(60s) call would cost (4.95 * 60)/10 = #29.7 .
The whole #400 given would therefore make 400/29.7 = 13.468 minutes of voice call.

Ordinarily making a call of 1minute on Mtn zone plan(12k/s) would cost (12 * 60)/100 = #7.2 .
Therefore the #100 would make a call of 100/7.2 =
13.8888888 minutes.

Comparing the above results you can see that the MTN Awuf4u plan is a kinda scam since it ends up profiting MTN instead of the customer.

At last MTN showed once again that they don't have the interest of their subscribers at heart with this SUGAR-COATED Awuf4u package of theirs.

So guys beware o

asuustrike2009:

It's not a scam don't expect the tariff to be the same with MTN zone or other tariff plans. From your analysis it's obvious that the difference is not much and it's ok

OP, you are smart by half somehow (no pun intended).

You have assumed MTN Zone is the plan everyone should be on and also forgetting that that plan has off peak and peak rates. Peak rate is around N16.8/min. Peak period is between 6pm and 6am. Meaning to make calls at N7.20 I have to do all my calls from 6am to 5.59pm.

Lastly, you are wrong about the minutes on the Awuf4U bonus.
The rate is N27/min which gives 14.8 minutes. So even by your own flawed calculations, you're still wrong.

OP, half smart people like you end up deceiving smart people who do not think for thmeselves

Read my post but don't misinterpret it as being pained that the Boko-idiots are being killed, Quite the contrary ...

I am being pained by the manner of which they were killed as claimed if truly they were killed by our constitutionally mandated security forces..

The picture depicts a clear fruad and evidence altering..

In as much as this fight against these vampires is an important one and we are so glad at the sight of their dead rotten bodies.. We should also know that we are encouraging extrajudicial killings of suspected criminals/terrorists. theirby, turning our children(soldiers) into monsters and killing machine..

Remember, while we encourage this barbarism by our uniform personals, there certainly will become a time when these terrorist would naturally be wiped out and guess who the killing machine activated in those young men has left....

Let us always insist that our uniform personals despite the upsets carry out their duties with decorum as inscribed in the UN rules of engagement and also consider the rights of the suspects as described by our various laws..

Good morning!

By looking at the pictures, I could tell those may not even be Boko Haram fighters.
Then I saw your post. But don't be surprised at the response you're getting, not many use their brains these days.
If they can justify killing Shiites and others, they will not see anything wrong with those pictures.
