How to Fix B3620
Diagnostic Steps:
The catalytic converter has oxygen sensors before and after it. When warm and in closed-loop mode, the upstream O2 sensor reading should fluctuate, while downstream should remain steady.
Repair Solution:
Firing order is engineered to minimise vibration. Altering firing order results in mistimed ignition and poor engine operation. Consult vehicle-specific repair manual for correct firing order.
Technical Notes:
B3620 on electronically controlled automatic transmissions relates to shift solenoid operation. The solenoid actuates hydraulic circuits controlling clutches or bands for gear changes.
