I have a '97 Lexus ES300 and got a check engine light 2 days ago. I got it checked and it comes up with a P0420 code. The code description says "Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)". As I understand, it could be due to a defective catalytic converter, damaged O2 ensors,...

I have a '97 Lexus ES300 (131K miles). My Connecticut Emissions test failed today due to no OBDII communication. The guy said he couldn't get a reading.
