Code result
P2424
HC Adsorption Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 2
Moderate severity
What it means
The hydrocarbon adsorption catalyst on bank 2 - which traps HC during cold-start until the main catalyst lights off - is degraded; HC slip during cold start is above the calibrated threshold.
Is it safe to drive?
