Dealer fix the issue, bad cat. Everything was covered and I got to drive a 2013 Legacy for the day.*Update*
Drove the car last night and no CEL lights. I filled up at a Hess the day before. I still have appointment with the dealer. I plan on refilling at the Sams club tomorrow to see if it comes back on.*Update*
Drove the car last night and no CEL lights. I filled up at a Hess the day before. I still have appointment with the dealer. I plan on refilling at the Sams club tomorrow to see if it comes back on.I never had any issue with the engine, never added any additives, and I owned the car for a year (2nd owner). This is my first CEL. I had a oil change about a month ago from the dealer and was told I need to replace my drive belt, but I don’t think that has anything to do with this. The only thing I can think that may cause this was fueling up at a Sams Club in NJ. The light came on within 10 miles after filling up. I normally use Shell, Sunoco, or the Sams Club in PA. Never has any issues with them.

I drove for about a hour and did the temp test. I got about 360F before the catalytic converter and 260F after. Based on the video, it should be a higher temp after.
I also spoke with someone from the EPA and IF it is a bad catalytic converter, its covered. Looks like I’m making a appointment to the dealer.

I’ll check the temp tomorrow once it has stopped raining. I’m really hoping to avoid buying a new catalytic converter.
Also, I been reading around some more and found that there is a EPA warranty for 8 years or 80,000 miles.
EPA.gov PDFI have to call my local office in my state (PA) to double check this, but I may be covered on this repair.
I’ll post back tomorrow.

I check the reading with my cheap scanner. I can only read O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 2 (not why I cant read sensor 1), which I think is the one after the cat. It jumps around like the one in Eric’s video. I can’t do a temp check today, but its this looking like a bad cat?
Also, the sensor after the cat is the downstream correct?

Thx, not sure how I missed that video. I wanted to hop under the car today, but its raining. For now I’ll just use my scan tool.

Top gear was delayed due to The Voice and Britain’s Got Talent.
Delay NewsI would agree with you Eric, Top Gear US during the 1st season was pretty much a copy of the UK version. Much like how the 1st season of the The Office US was.
While the US show is getting a little better, I still like the UK much more.
I don’t like how they portray Adam Ferrara as a car guy when he (at least during the 1st season) know nothing about them. This was stated on the O&A show when he was interviewed.
