Hey guys, I need some help with code pulled from VIDA: ECM-400C Three-way catalytic converter efficiency, bank 1, Signal too high.

1. Check engine light poped up, VIDA said ECM-400C. I cleared the code, car ran as usual.
2. After 50 miles it poped up again.
3. Next step: pulled graphs for front and rear oxygen sensor.

My question is, what could possible go wrong here?

It was failed catalytic converter.

Explanation:
Green line (which represents rear oxygen sensor) on chart should be stable (0.6V) when idling and hot motor.

A catalytic converter shouldn't fail. If it does it's mostly because of some error like running too fat mixture etc. Is your engine in good condition?
Great that you solved it πŸ‘
