Install one of these... erase the code by removing the negative side terminal of the battery or erase the code via a $5 code reader...problem solved!

If you successfully fixed the problem, the light should go out by itself in a few drive cycles. You can also reset it immediately with a OBD2 code scanner or by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes.

Not sure about the ES350, but on the IS350 the P0420/P0430 low catalyst efficiency codes are usually caused by an exhaust leak in the Y-pipe under the heat shield.
