SOURCE: 05 nissan xterra

the check engine light is on because theres a problem,you would have to scan the computer and get the codes that are stored in memory, then these codes give an idea of the problem,it may be an oxygen sensor or a loose gas cap etc, the codes help alot,then after the problem is fixed, then use a scan tool to reset or go to an autozone parts store they will scan it for free or reset the light, the next option is if the problem is fixed then after a few days of driving,maybe 150 miles the computer retests everyting and if all is good the light will shut off, but if you do have the light shut off without repairing the light will just come back on, hope this helps, good luck.

you need a cat /cat convertor. it will be pretty expensive. the cat it self goes for around 500 big ones and than the labor to replace it.

05 gx470 check engine and vsc trac lights are on, wont accelerate past 35

i had an issue with a nissan xterra and it turned out to be a Cam position sensor. Who would have thought? Engine light would be my primary concern, local auto parts store (advance or autozone) can pull the service engine code.

05' Dodge RAM 1500 code p0420. I've been changing oxygen sensors since u bought it 2 years ago, thought the problem was solved but yet again check engine light came on, could there be an other problem??

Hello: Code P0 420 indicates the catalytic converter is operating below calibrated efficiency (below 60%) replacing the oxygen sensors will not correct the condition. The converter needs to be replaced and the code cleared.

It sounds like one of your catalytic converters doesn't appear to be working up to par if you're getting this error code.

05 Chevy Malibu P0420 code has set the check engine light.

Hi. P0420 is a catalyst efficiency code. 100% of the time you need a new catalytic converter. If you want to be sure it is the cat pull the O2 sensor before the cat and drive it, the sluggishness will go away because there is no more restriction.
