Catalytic converter system efficiency below threshold – bank 1

Catalytic converter system efficiency below threshold – bank 1

Documented for: 2.0L gasoline; 2.5L/3.0L gasoline · System(s): EMS EOBD, EMS OBD II · Factory MIL flag: 2

Common causes

  • HO2 Sensor disconnected HO2 Sensor to ECM wiring fault HO2 Sensor heater to ECM wiring fault HO2 Sensor heater failure Upstream HO2 Sensor failure Downstream HO2 Sensor failure Catalyst failure
  • Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)

Quick checks

  • Confirm freeze-frame and conditions when the code set
  • Inspect connectors, grounds, and harness for the circuit named in the code
  • Compare live sensor values vs expected (unplugged/biased sensors are common)

Typical fixes

  • Check for exhaust leaks
  • replace catalytic converter
