2004 Mitsubishi Galant - Trouble Code P0431 and P0432.

I have a Mitsubishi Galant 2004 4 cylinder and I got two codes Check Engine Light trouble codes PO431 and PO421 what can I do and and what do these trouble codes mean?

Answer:  

Trouble codes P0431 and P0421 on your Mitsubishi indicate a problem with the Catalytic Converter (in the worst case) and simply several cold starts (in the best case). Basically this means that the oxygen sensor downstream of the catalytic converter detected that the CAT is not working as efficiently as it should be. Most likely you will not notice any drivability problems. After a week or two if the codes do not automatically clear you will want to have a smog check repair station conduct a hands on diagnosis.
