P200F

Catalytic converter, bank 2 - over-temperature condition

P200F is described as “Catalytic converter, bank 2 - over-temperature condition” in the Generic OBD2 reference.

Some scan tools (for example GM and Ford dealer tools) display this code with a failure-type suffix, such as P200F-00 or P200F:00; the base code P200F is the same.

What do Bank and Sensor mean?

Bank 1 is the side containing cylinder 1. Bank 2 is the other side on V or flat engines; inline engines have only Bank 1. Cylinder numbering depends on the engine, so check the manufacturer’s layout.

For exhaust oxygen sensors, Sensor 1 is upstream, closest to the engine; Sensor 2 is downstream, after the catalyst. Confirm the exact sensor layout in the vehicle’s service information.

Other-bank reference: P200E. A paired definition does not prove that your engine has both banks.
