Check Engine Light came on and code was P0430 (Catalytic Convertor efficiency low/ low value seen at sensor), so had dealer do Catalytic convertor pressure test to see if Catalytic convertor is plugged up and it did not meet the flow requirements using the special Toyota test equipment, which these results seems logical and expected given the car was used for years on short trips on and off engine running due to carpooling kids to school-meaning open loop fuel dumping and rich condition on start up more likely to foul precious metals in catalytic convertor. I tested the heated upstream sensor and was found below spec, and also found downstream sensor to be lazy, which these DENSO sensors are known to have a life of 100K miles. Dealer wanted $750 for labor and Tech confirmed this was a very difficult job to replace the cat due to the transfer case, rack and pinion are both in the way and the exhaust manifold can only be reached from the bottom of the car because the top of the rear bank is coverd by the intake manifold. The Dealer estimated 5 hours total to remove and replace the catalytic convertor which is a one piece part that is welded to the exhaust manifold, and requires disassembly of the "Y" pipe after the cat and the rear exhaust pipe. It was a very difficult removal and even more difficult installation given the small openings and limited access to mounting bolts and off angle of exhaust manifold bolts requiring 2 universal joints, 6 pt sockets in different lengths for several bolts and special magnetized lights to see in the crevice of the rear of the V6 engine. My hands are certainly larger than Japanese hands and with mechanic leather gloves still got cut up by the exhaust shield that is not removable on the firewall. It took more than 6 hours of actual work because I took time to clean all the rusted threads of the exhaust mounting points, and getting a torque wrench on them to torque it all to factory specification was difficult, as well as Toyota gave me the wrong lead donut and I had to reform the old one and thankfully it sealed completely with no exhaust leaks that would fail smog test. This work could not be done without a hydraulic car lift, as I used because of the length of extensions required and angle to access the heat shield for the exhaust manifold and to reach the top upstream sensor connector on top of the engine to disconnect and replace that sensor, the downstream sensor was easy to replace. DENSO sensors, Toyota bolts and studs, manifold gaskets were used, with sensors costing $ 180 and $240. Not only did the CEL go off, the car is smoother and noticeably more powerful in acceleration and is getting better gas mileage, almost feels like a new car wi.th both front and rear bank cats replaced and all 4 oxygen/air fuel sensors replaced. As a former pro mechanic, this rear bank CAT is best done by a dealer and not a easy DIY job. Note: Catalytic Convertor thefts are on the rise due to the $ value of the precious metals inside the cat, so looking to install metal shield on my cars after several friends Prius's have had their cats stolen in front of their house at night by unscrupulous thieves, precious metals are worth $600-1000 in CA, and supply and demand of smog able cats is increasing prices of new cats, so don't wait or install a sensor fooler if you are getting a cat fault code. |
