Default DIC Code TWC system, what is it?

Threw my first code today, "P0430 TWC System Low Efficiency Bank Two". I cleared the code this morning and it didn't return for the remainder of my drive to work.

I have searched teh Forum and the Web and cannot find reference as to what a TWC system is....Any help out there? Is this serious bad stuff or not?

Thanks in advance everyone!

I believe TWC might stand for "Three Way Catalyst", or catalytic converter.

The post oxygen sensor(s) are indicating there may be a problem with the CC(s).

Or, and I'm taking a long shot here, since the 'Vette in question is a '03, one or both sensors are drifting out of tolerance. In any event, something like this is definitely emission related, and so therefore is covered under that extended warranty.

HTH, and good luck!
