Today I was driving back from the beach and the "Service Engine Soon" light came on. I have a tablet installed in my car, with OBDII and Torque. Torque error code says P0420 - power train. Catalyst system efficiency below threshold (bank1). I looked it up and it sounds like I need a new catalyst converter?

My car is a 2012 Nissan 370z, Automatic. Only 22k miles, bought it brand new.

I got 6 year bumper to bumper on the car warranty. But basically I'm wondering if it turns out to be a catalyst converter, would I have any warranty for it? Sounds like it would cost like $800 bucks after doing some looking up online.

I'll call Ferman Nissan Tampa(where I bought it from) in the morning. But I'd like to know if this is even covered under warranty, and if this is the problem according to the error code and IF it will cost that much?

Thanks guys!
