Toyota Repair: catalytic converter 2001 Corolla, air flow sensor, catalytic converter
QuestionMy "check engine" light has been on for almost 2 years. I took the car to two different dealerships. The first said I needed a catalytic converter so I went to another dealership for service and they said I needed the air flow sensor replaced. I had the sensor replaced. The check engine light came on again about five months later and the second dealership said I need a catalytic converter. I've driven a Honda that needed a catalytic converter and this car is not riding rough at all. Could this be a Toyota scam?
AnswerI don't think so, if the check engine light trouble code is a PO420 then the catalityc converter is the problem, if you reside in the US the converter is covered under the federal emission control warranty for 8yrs/ 80,000 miles and if that's the case it is replaced at no charge to you.
