    2016 Accord, 72k miles, first time check engine light on, P0420. I simply deleted this code by the scan tool one week ago, and have not seen it back after 500 miles.
    Update: The code was on (100-150 miles) and off (300-500 miles), for 2-3 months. I pulled the sensor out and cleaned it, but CEL was on again after 600 miles. Replaced the sensor (Denso) and it works so far about 2k miles.

    P0420 means the cat is getting hotter then usual, sometimes the sensors will work by replacing them but if not your cat is clogged best thing is to remove it and dip in a bucked completely submerged with detergent for 24hrs then let it dry and reinstall and enjoy your new cat lol

    Hello, I replaced the downstream sensor, but the check engine light came back on 3 weeks later. I scanned it again and the same code was displayed. However, it says bank 1. Does this mean it's the upstream O2 sensor? I have a 2015 Honda Accord Spot. Your Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

    My 2016 honda has the same code and also the paper I received from autozone suggests replacing battery as I was receiving 12.4 V. Also sometimes my vechile doesn’t crank but it does after I loosen up the battery terminal and tighten them back. I have already replaced the battery but it happened again, do you see replacing downstream sensor will fix this issue for me?
    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
