02 sensor replacement

Just the other day I had a "longer then usual" crank to start issue. This afternoon I got a CEL light (code P0430).

edit: brain fart
So should I replace all my 02 sensors? Or just the bank 2 aft 02 sensor?
I have 250,000klm (150,000 miles).


No drive ability issues.

You say you have a 2007 with a 6.0 PSD that has O2 sensors?
I seriously doubt that...

My eyes can't focus... they keep bobbing up and down

that's an O2 sensor.... generic code for low flow. Probably a Catalytic converter sensor, maybe plugged? Try disconnecting and re-connecting the wire... if it's there. May be time for a new CAT.

Best guess...

0403 is an EGR code.

In the code list I found this for my code.
P0430 - Catalyst System Low Efficiency Bank 2

What do I check?

Bit of a panic, my government drive clean test for my truck is due in a couple weeks.

Any suggestions would help. Just watch the bouncing ...................

Clear the code and see if it pops again. Are you sure you're not lesdysxicaly transposing the EGR code?

Yes with the Scangauge.
I did clear the code and I'll see if it comes back. If it does, I'll need to replace the _______.

I doubt the cat needs to be replaced. With only 250000 klm (150000 miles). they should last longer then that.

So what does it cost to replace the "Catalytic monitor sensor" specifically Bank 2? Not even thinking about replacing the CAT.

Anyone here have a CAT for sale?

No such thing on a 6.0. Only emissions you have is egr valve and catalytic converter. Might consider the ebp sensor as emissions ( using the term loosely)

The code I got was P0430 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold. Bank 2.

Are there any sensors before and after the cat?
