JoeR Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I was contacted by a customer today asking about a catalyst reset on the 3.7L GDI Taurus. He said it was on 2013-Present vehicles, and required any time you had a P0420/P0430. I never heard of anything like that, and I see no reference to it in Mitchell. Has anyone heard of such a thing? Any help appreciated. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybullitt Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Never heard of that before. I will look it up. I don't see in the wsm or PC/Ed saying to do a reset. The squad that have tsb for p0420/430 do say to reprogram to latest. I would recommend that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeR Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 I finally got more info on this. He's delirious. He wasn't able to produce any service info or anything else that proves this test exists. He had never run an IDS, and just thought it was a test that SHOULD exist. Good grief! Sorry to waste everyone's time with this. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8WA Sman Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Sounds like a missed opportunity...Sure I can reset your catalyst & fill up the turn signal fluid that will be $xxx.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddieseldoctor Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Don’t forget to repack the muffler bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeR Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 This customer is a Tech at a county fleet shop. The car was one of the vehicles he services there. He had a Snapon scanner and was looking for this test. He called tech support, then his salesman asking why it wasn't there. Kinda funny.

nelsona19 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Sounds like an ASE question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
