Didn't know where to put this but here goes. I have a '03 with 84,500k mi, car is pretty much stock just and AEM intake and EVO exhaust. I gotten a P0420 CEL before and thought nothing of it so i just cleared the code. Just this week i gotten a CEL Twice in 3days. Thursday (1/17) i got a P0420 and figure it was just nothing and cleared it again. But Saturday (1/19) night got another CEL, this time it's P0430. I got a Actron CP9175 and was able to get a freeze frame for the P0430.

Engine RPM - 2710
Load Value - 25.4%
Coolant Temp - 186 F
Intake Air Temp - 62 F
Short Term Fuel Trim 1 - -3.4%
Long Term Fuel Trim 1 - 20.3%
Short Term Fuel Trim 2 - 3.1%
Long Term Fuel Trim 2 - 19.5%
Short Term Fuel Trim 3 - -100.6%
Long Term Fuel Trim 3 - -100.6%
Short Term Fuel Trim 4 - -100.6%
Speed - 65 MPH
Fuel System 1 - CLSD
Fuel System 2 - CLSd

I done some searching online but just trying to see if anyone else gotten the same CEL codes and what your situation and outcome was. And if any one can shad some more light to what these numbers mean, ill appreciate it.

Thanks

Both the P0420 and P0430 are catalytic converter codes. Both indicate that the O2 sensors downstream of the catalytic converters (Bank 1 sensor 2 and Bank 2 sensor 2) are reporting that the catalytic converters are performing below the minimum threshold. Either your catalytic converters are going bad or the O2 sensors are going bad.

^Thanks for the link. Makes alot more sense now. And a buddy of mines that works at toyota told its almost about that time for my CATS.

im sure ur O2 sensors are fine. if there are no codes for a hearter circut malfunction they are fine. im going to assume you need a new cat
