Trying to diagnose code P0420 on 2014 Chevy Impala with 2.5 liter four cylinder, direct injection engine. Odometer is 252,000+ miles. No other diagnostic codes present to include oxygen sensor heaters.
Attached image shows the traces of the upstream and downstream oxygen sensor. To me the downstream sensor seems stuck as it does NOT cross the 450 millivolt threshold between rich and lean. It should do this occasionally but not as frequently as the upstream sensor.
In this example it seems to hover around the 600 to 800 millivolt range and never go lean. Is my understanding of the downstream behavior correct and the downstream sensor should go lean at times?
