If a Honda Accord has OBD code P0420 in the catalyst bank is it oxygen sensor or catalytic converter?

P0420 is a generic OBD code indicating an problem with the catalytic converter efficiency of the bank 1 catalytic converter on a Honda Accord. This does not necessarily mean that the catalytic converter is bad. Some other parts should be inspected further:

Spark plugs

Ignition wires

Fuel injector

PCV valve

Vacuum lines

Air intake filter

If all these parts are still good and the code is still present then it is likely a bad catalytic converter.
