Circuit High Input codes like B0420 are mostly caused by defective alternators that develop excessive voltages, although there may be other causes as well, such as short circuits that 'leak' current into a particular system from other, unrelated systems that work on higher voltages. Note that in the case of short circuits that leak power into a control circuit, there is likely to be other, seemingly unrelated trouble codes present along with the code(s) being investigated. Diagnosing a 'high input' code will always involve a thorough testing of the charging system as a first step, followed by measures to isolate the system from all other possible sources of power during resistance, continuity, and reference voltage tests.

If your dual alternator lower circuit malfunction/ manifold absolute pressure (map) sensor circuit intermittent low voltage check engine light is illuminated, it's best to take it in for diagnostic testing, which can feel like a hassle. Because while the lights vary in appearance from vehicle to vehicle, all have the same basic meaning: There's a problem with the car's emissions system. The on-board diagnostics system B0420 and engine control unit are in charge of monitoring a bunch of different dual alternator lower circuit malfunction/ manifold absolute pressure (map) sensor circuit intermittent low voltage, and if they get a reading that's a little out of whack, up pops the check engine light.
