my engine light came on and the code reads P0420=catalyst efficiency below thershold bank 1, then in the manual it reads further as monitor and/or exhaust system fault my question is i have replaced both 02 sensors on the exhaust system is there a "monitor" somewhere else. i have also had the exhaust checked it the muffler shop i took it to said it was fine. any ideas?
 






Your EGR or DPFE sensor may be bad....
 






OBD II Code P0420

My advise would be to go to www.alldatadiy.com and subscribe, this will give you full access to all of Fords Diagnostic charts, it was the best $24.95 I spent and has saved me a small fortune in diagnostic costs from the local dealer.
