You most likely have a battery that has gone dead in at least one of your pressure monitors. If you take it to a tire shop they should be able to tell you witch one is inactive. They are around $50 for the monitor and they will charge you for a mount and balance to change it.

P0420 & P0430 You need new catalytic converter The P0430 check engine light code, like P0420, means the catalyst system efficiency is below the required threshold. Simply put, this means your car is adding more pollution into the air than it's supposed to.

Sometimes a computer reset can clear things up. Try disconnecting the battery overnight. When running the car for the first time after, make sure lights and a/c are off for the first 5-10 minutes or so while it idles and relearns the idle fuel mixture. This clears all the learned functions in the computer so it goes back through the relearn functions.

Your tire wear is something out of whack, bad wheel bearing, ball joint, strut, alignment, lots of stuff, a mechanic should be able to tell you what it is. Check out tirerack.com for tire and wheel packages that would give you a lot of different options and combos on different sizes. I had a car with 16" summer wheels and 17" winter wheels. Not sure about your vsc light, maybe bad senson in the bad bearing, but then seem like abs light would be on as well. Good luck. Hth.

Catalyst converter heat shields or muffler shields. Do you live where you got snow?

If you have only one bulb not working, or if you have only one side of the rear lights not working, it would not be a fuse. Fuses generally control , for example, all the rear tail lights, or all the front parking lights, etc. Those fuses are found in the fuse holder underneath the dashboard of the vehicle. If you have only one bulb out, either the bulb is burned out, or a socket for the bulb is defective, or the ground wire is not working. If you have one side out, you likely have a wiring problem. God bless your efforts.

Hello, the P0420 code is common on corollas with higher mileage, you will need to replace the catalytic converter. The car will automatically be failed if the check engine light is on, Clearing the codes and taking it in to smog may not work because the cat monitor and others need to complete and pass, disconnecting the battery will erase all monitor information. It's not 40 drive cycles but maybe two or so after the repair, usually driving the car on both highway and stop and go city traffic with two drive cyles will complete the monitors, depending on what state you live in it may not be necessary to pass all monitors so ask your local smog station how many and which ones must pass.

most commonly found problem relates to an electronic component heating up and shutting down. Have you checked to confirm there is fuel pressure when the vehicle shuts off. Is the check engine light on. Have you checked codes ? I suggest hooking up a fuel pressure gauge and letting vehicle run till it shuts off while monitoring the fuel pressure. If you loose fuel pressure, next step is to confirm there power going to the pump, if there is power going to the pump with no fuel pressure replace pump. Another suggestion would be to check for spark when vehicle stops running to eliminate an ignition problem. good luck
