P0430 SES light during move
Hey guys!
Driving a 2006 350z from north carolina to colorado. Going up and down the mountains along the way my SES light illuminated. I performed the self test with the blinking lights and I received P0430 code. I know this has alot to due with oxygen and exhaust due to my research on it. My question is could this fault throw while I'm going up and down the mountains that have less O2 on top and more on the bottom so its tricking the car? Also is this a safe code to finish the drive on, or should I reset it and see if it kicks back on?
Thanks!

I'd have it scanned first (inherent) to confirm it's 0430 and yea, see if it comes back - Its my speculation that it will. It's not like you were at sea level one day and now at elevation - the car had time to acclimate.
where in denver are you at?

Thanks!
I reset the code myself and continued the drive. After 1300 more miles I safely made it to denver without it kicking back on. (About halfway there another SES code illuminated scaring me, P0455. after some quick research on the side of.the road I hopped out and tightend my gas cap) I'm still worried its going to turn back on that it wasnt a false error because like you said the car did have some time to accumulate but I just wanted to get here instead of being stuck somewhere along the way.
I just moved to Thornton. Little bit north. I got in last night before this snow storm hit so today's my first day in town! I only moved with what I could fit in my Z, so not much lol.
