    Yesterday I filled up at a gas station that I rarely go to. Five minutes later check engine light was on and P0420 code. Is this usually the front cat/O2 sensor, or the back cat/O2 sensor? I do have a coolant leak near the head gasket, not sure if that is an issue here too.

    The code came back. I tested the rear O2 sensor resistance and it checked out. The front one had nothing. FSM said at cold temperature around 1-2 ohms. My meter didn't get anything. That sensor is a Bosch from years ago when I replaced it. Is it possible this is my code 0420 culprit?
