You are not going to believe this.
The reason my car is throwing those P0845 and P0420 code is because my car is burning oil because of old age of 153K now. As soon as I put in 1 quart of oil, the light goes away and I just pass my emission test after driving it about 100 miles.
BTW, when I went to the dealership the 2nd time, the guy that reset my code says this P0420 code for CC is common! Imagine how easy to get rip off by anyone!
What does this tell you? Never trust OBD code! So I dont know what to believe now!
Any advice?

Probably a dribbling fuel injector. Either needs to be cleaned, or replaced. First try a bottle of Chevron with Techron concentrate in a full tank of gas.
Also, when driving, try to not to shift below 5000 RPM, this will get the injectors working and will clean then out, along with the Techron fuel injector cleaner.
If all fails, you will need to replace 1 or all 4 injectors.
Oh, and is the code that set of the Check engine light?
