Check engine code P0420: how to fix, most common reason

The exhaust system of a modern car is a complex set of devices serving not only to divert gases and reduce noise levels, but also to control the correct operation of the engine. The task of the catalytic converter is to prevent harmful substances from entering the atmosphere. If the code P0420, which deciphers as “the efficiency of the catalytic converter system is below the threshold level” occurs, it indicates a poor capacity of the catalytic converter.
