DTC DESCRIPTION P0430 - CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD (BANK 2)

Description:	This DTC sets when the bank 2 catalyst system efficiency is below the chart 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 Evaporative emission (EVAP) purge valve stuck open Leaking fuel injector
Diagnostic Aids:	Under normal closed loop fuel conditions, high efficiency catalysts have oxygen storage which reduces the frequency and amplitude of the downstream HO2S. As catalyst efficiency deteriorates, its ability to store oxygen declines and the downstream HO2S signal has an increased amplitude and frequency. The PCM compares the signal line length of the downstream HO2S to an expected signal line length of the downstream HO2S with a deteriorated catalytic converter.
