What P04F3 means

P04F3
Catalyst Heater Supply Voltage Bank 2 Generic · emissions Data confidence 65%

The control module detected a fault associated with the Catalyst Heater Supply Voltage Bank 2 circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode.

Symptoms

  • MIL illuminated
  • Possible smell of unburnt fuel or reduced performance in severe cases

Possible causes

  • Aged or damaged catalytic converter
  • Downstream oxygen sensor fault giving a wrong efficiency reading
  • Exhaust leak
  • Misfire or mixture fault overloading the catalyst

Recommended checks

  • Compare upstream and downstream oxygen sensor signals
  • Check for exhaust leaks
  • Check for stored misfire or mixture codes first
  • Verify catalyst temperature plausibility where available
