Sounds like a lazy (or un-informed) dealer's service writer. This is NOT a rare occurance. My buddy who works as a tech in a Ford store (he did mine) indicates this is a very common failure.

I second that... Take it to the dealer and tell them you scanned a P0420. They can't charge you a dime!!! Not even the diagnostics fee.
