Default 0420 code

Can anyone give some advice on this code? 02 sensor on left bank?

Car only has 20,000 miles. Or at least a good link to interpreting codes.

Thanks in advance!

Catalyst System Efficiency below threshold, left bank. Change anything on your car lately? I wouldn't expect to see that unless you removed your cats, or they actually went bad.

get ready to have the cat replaced on the driver's side. mine did it at 48k miles. there are others on the boards that have had the same issue. it's a free replacement atthe dealer for 80k miles.

Hope it's the O2 sensor. If not time for lt's and I want to try Texas Speed's catted y pipe, looks nice.

By the way Vinci programmer is really nice. When it's cam time gonna be Vinci.

it won't be the o2 sensor. it would be a different code. they replaced the cat on my car and the code never came back. it's a free replacement. other than your time taking it to the dealer.
