Catalyst Off

Catalyst Off explained — how it works, related DTCs and how Softechpro does it with automatic checksum correction.

What is Catalyst Off?

Catalyst Off removes the cat-efficiency monitoring (P0420/P0430) from the map for motorsport and export applications. Softechpro applies it directly in the ECU calibration and recalculates the checksum & CVN automatically, so the file is flash-ready. Typical related codes: P0420, P0430.
