Cat converter bank 1?

221 Views 5 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  myranda.martin82
Hi everybody. I'm new here. I hope someone is still monitoring this forum. I have a 2010 xB. I just had a diag test and it's throwing a P0420 code. I know that code means I need a new catalytic converter, but I'm having trouble finding info on which cat is bank 1. Can someone tell me if bank 1 is the front manifold cat or the underbody cat?
Thanks

Hi!
All stock xB's have inline four-cylinder engines; they have only one bank and one catalytic converter. The converter is located nearest to the engine. The device at the back is a muffler.

A P0420 is about the cat's efficiency level. A cat is pricey, be sure the exhaust system is thoroughly diagnosed before replacing anything. The code may also be caused by a faulty oxygen sensor, exhaust leak, or an intake leak.

Good luck and please post your result.

Thanks for the info.

These are the results I got when I search for the 2010 xb catalytic converter.



Why do I get 2 different results? Which one is correct?
Those two Websites appear to have differing descriptions for the same part. I have no information regarding exhaust aftermarket brands, or their products' naming conventions. Here is what nomenclature Toyota dealers display for the 2010 xB exhaust parts.

Catalytic Converter - 17420-28830



Exhaust Manifold - 25051-28340



I hope this is of some assistance to you and maybe some members who are knowledgeable about the Gen2 can guide you with clarification.

Sometimes, Google makes research harder than it needs to be. Those two pictures and labels are exactly the info I needed to see. Much appreciated!!
