2002 RAV4 2WD 4 cyl
May 2005, at 45K miles, P0420&P0430 codes appeared. Dealership recalibrated the ECU.
Sept. 2006, at 71K miles, P0420&P0430 codes appeared. Dealership replaced the Catalytic Converter. (under warranty)
Nov. 2008, at 110K miles, P0420&P0430 codes appeared. Catalytic Converter replaced again. (not under warranty)
Feb. 2009, 118K miles, ECU recalibrated again by Dealership. (2nd SSC 601)
May 2009, Toyota paid claim ($1135.95) for my costs of replacing the two Cats.
July 2009, 124K miles, P0420&P0430 codes appeared.
Aug. 2009, 127K miles, reset P0420&P0430 and MAF cleaned.
Sept 2009, 127K miles, P0420&P0430 codes appeared.
Nov.2009, 131K miles, dealership analyzed problem and could find no reason. They contacted Tech Support Cost $89.95
11/17/09, dealership told me car possibly needed ECM replaced, but not sure. They wanted the car for the day with total costs possibly $2000 or more.
I suspect the ECM may have been the problem since initial P0420&P0430 codes appeared in May 2005. Contacted Toyota Customer Support in Calif. Was told they would do nothing more and advised me to buy a new vehicle. Go Figure.
I really need help. These are the only error codes this car has ever had and it runs great. However, it won't pass NC state inspection.
