I am curious what everyone's take on the E210's security system is. I have just gotten mine a few weeks ago and I just caught someone at my driveway looking at the car at midnight, acting sketchy before driving away. My XSE is the first car I have with an alarm system. I figured i would ask...

Hi all, Just picked up a 2021 XLE. I'll admit upfront that I'm not very vehicle savvy. I have two questions: First, I understand that the recent rash of catalytic converter thefts have mostly targeted the Prius; is the 2021 Highlander Hybrid designed in such a way that the catalytic converter...

I have a 2003 Camry, 2.4, with approx. 230,000 miles. I have been having issues with my O2 sensors and cat for the past 3+ months. My check engine light came on a few months back and the code was for the downstream sensor. I work at Autozone and we have a shop right next door to the store where...

So about a week ago my the pipe at the end of my cat broke right where the flange is. I got a new CC as it was fairly cheap to do so and everything seems normal. Temps are fine, no noises and it runs as good as new. I was driving earlier today and I noticed my check engine light came on. It...

Couple days ago I had changed the A/F ratio sensor and reset the ECU on my 2.4L 02 Camry. So all the code went away except the Evap system not ready. I know EVAP takes time to complete. But today when I went to start my car, I saw 3 codes not complete. EVAP, O2 and Catalytic not ready. I am...

My '02 with a 2.2 l4 recently had issues with a bank 1 sensor 1 02 code and was running extremely rough. I replaced the cat once and the sensor itself twice. Now the car runs fine until i put it in gear and the check engine light is also no longer on. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

235k+ mileage OBD throwing a p0420 AND p0430. so i replaced the exhaust manifold catalyst(B1) (OEM replacement) as well as the B2S2 oxygen sensor. 6 new spark plugs. new air filter. i clear CEL, it shows back up after about 25 miles of driving. OBD is only showing P0420 now. i’ve attached...

Hello everyone, new to the forum and I have a Corolla which I've replaced the 5 speed trans for a 6 speed 03-04 Celica GTS (not too sure what year atm). It currently has a 1ZE engine, the stock one I believe, a Stage 2 Clutch, and a cold air intake (custom made using pipes designed for an...

Hi all, I'm having a tough time figuring out what parts I need for my 03 (Prod 09/2002) Camry LE 2.4L (2AZ-FE) AT Japan made (Vin starting JTDBE32K). I have the dreaded P0420 and have been fixing CEL codes in preparation of smogging my vehicle. I live in California and have to pass the CA state...

I have a '97 Camry 2.2 California emissions car that was made in Japan (vin#JTxxxxxx) and I need a new Cat as told by 3 different smog techs because it is failing emissions. They said it is probably not the manifold cat ,which is really expensive, because there is a second 02 sensor behind the...

Hi Toyota Community. I have a ‘93 Camry V4 LE. Can anyone help me by naming the part circled in the picture? I’m not sure if that’s a catalytic converter or some other part entirely. Thanks for the help!

Hi everyone. We bought a 2006 Matrix (auto) in March and about a month after buying it it started acting up. Basically the car will start sputtering and stalling within the first 5-10 minutes of driving. Sometimes if we rev it it seems to help and the car sputters a bit more before seeming to...

I punched out my catalytic converter (long story) anyway can I run without a downstream o2 sensor?

Hi guys, I’ve had an issue with this 2000 Toyota Solara several times when the battery died or had to be replaced. It triggers some sensor in the catalytic converter and I was told that I have to drive it EXACTLY 55 mph for at least 50 mins with no AC or cruise control to reset the sensor. Only...

2003 Corolla LE, almost 190,000 miles. Had problem passing smoke about 2 years ago ("Catalyst Monitor" Incomplete or Not Ready). Mechanic did something to help get it ready and passed smoke check. Last month Check Engine light shows up again. Scanner reads Code P0420, "Catalyst System...

My 2006 Camry (160k miles) started throwing P0430 and P0442 codes starting a few months ago. I eventually got it diagnosed, and was told to replace the Bank 2 Cat, O2 sensors, and charcoal canister. When I checked I found that the engine filter wasn't bolted down right. Not sure if the mechanic...

Hello, I am finding the need to replace my bank 1 catalytic converter for my 15 Honda Accord lx. Wondering if anyone has any experience removing the part, it looks quite accessible but hoping to get some advice on the steps to follow. many thanks, Victor

Thanks in advance for your tips My son's 2002 corolla threw a CEL, I scanned it with a bluetooth OBD2 scanner (paid Torque app) and got two codes: Current Fault = P0420 - Powertrain Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1) Pending Fault = P0446 - Powertrain Evaporative Emission...

Hello guys, I need help if you can. MY catalytic converter bad checked with meter and infrared thermometer. Its not heating up on exhaust side (outlet pipe). My state does not require any emission test. Can fix this annoying P0420 code with spark plug non fouler? what size non fouler do I...

Toyota Camry 2.4L LE. Other day engine light came on with P0420 code. I have never disconnected the battery terminal but all 4 emission test came on: evep not ready, Catalytic converter not ready, O2 one not ready O2 two not ready. My O2 one upstream sensor is steady with 3.3V But my...
