This code 4Times P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1

I would look at the battery voltage malfunction first as weird spikes and anomalies in the power system can throw odd codes. Have you removed/replaced your battery lately? Have you messed with any electrical things lately? Just undo the negative battery terminal for a few minutes and plug it back in. This will reset the ECU and clear the codes. If they come back, then diagnose further.
