P0420
Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)
In plain English: The catalytic converter on the driver-side exhaust isn't cleaning emissions as well as it should. The truck still drives — but it'll fail an emissions test, and the converter usually needs replacement. Common on F-150s past 80k miles.
Likely causes
— Failed catalytic converter (most likely — 70%)
— Faulty downstream O2 sensor (20%)
— Exhaust leak before catalyst (10%)
Not a substitute for licensed inspection — verify on the lift before quoting.

Hi Maria — your truck is on the lift now. We pulled codes P0420 and P0171.
9:14 AM
I sent the estimate to your app. The catalytic converter is the main item. Take a look when you can.
9:46 AM
Got it. Is the O2 sensor really needed too?
10:02 AM
Yes — when the cat goes, the downstream sensor usually fouls. Replacing both prevents a comeback in 2-3 months.
10:04 AM
Makes sense. Approving now.
