When I reset the code it stays off for 500 miles so I could just live with it.

If the O2 sensor is good, then you could use an extender, but really it would be best to fix the problem.

I would troubleshoot the O2 sensor using live data from a bi-directional Scanner.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a P0420 error code on bank one. O2 sensors have 10000 miles and our factory. Catalytic converter has 10000 miles but is aftermarket. I can put in an extender on the post catalytic O2 sensor and see if it works. I can remove the cat ( non emissions state) but not sure it can be bypassed. Has any one done this? When I reset the code it stays off for 500 miles so I could just live with it. Buying a $ 3000 cat is not an option for a 2002 996 with 109000 miles. I have posted this before so this is an update

POST 2Original post

I would troubleshoot the O2 sensor using live data from a bi-directional Scanner. If the O2 sensorische bad, an extended won‘t help. Neither would removing the cat. If the O2 sensor is good, then you could use an extender, but really it would be best to fix the problem. The best I’ve seen are the ones similar to these: https://www.fabspeed.com/universal-9...nverters-pair/
