P0430 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 27 other vehicles, including the 2021 Lincoln Navigator, 2021 Lincoln Nautilus, 2021 Lincoln Corsair, 2021 Lincoln Aviator, and 2021 Ford Transit-350 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC DESCRIPTION P0430 - CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD (BANK 2)

Description:  This DTC sets when the bank 2 catalyst system efficiency is below the acceptable threshold.
Possible Causes: 
  • Damaged heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)
  • Exhaust leaks
  • Damaged exhaust manifold
  • Damaged catalytic converter
  • Oil contamination
  • Cylinder misfiring
  • Downstream HO2S wires incorrectly connected
  • Damaged exhaust system pipe
  • Damaged muffler and tailpipe assembly
  • Leaking fuel injector
  • Oil contamination of the catalyst
  • Damaged turbocharger
  • Base engine concerns
Diagnostic Aids:  Under normal closed loop fuel conditions, high efficiency catalysts have oxygen storage capability. As catalyst efficiency deteriorates, its ability to store oxygen declines. Refer to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor, for additional information.
Diagnose any base engine concerns. Refer to the appropriate Engine System article.
