I have a 01 Forester and the CEL has been coming on (P0420 - "Catalyst
system inefficient for Bank 1"). I posted earlier to this group and it
was suggested that it was the front o2 sensor. I'm finally getting
around to addressing it. I had a friend use his OBD computer and read
the sensor voltages. They were around 5V and I believe the typical
value is suppose to be 0.1 to 0.8 V.
My friend suggested to cross check the voltages with a multimeter. His
suggestion was to use a sewing needle taped to the multimeter probe and
stick it through the insulation. I was wondering if there were any
other suggestions out there?
Thanks,
Bill
