I have a 2005 Impala as well.....I bought a code scanner when my check engine light came on....2 codes came up on the scanner...P0420 and P0420PD.....'catalyst below efficiency'....My car has 115,000 miles on it and it was time for annual safety/emissions inspection so I took it in to a shop.....The catalytic converter had gone bad and had to be replaced.....which was the reason for the P0420 code....
