Catalytic Converter: Testing and Inspection

Inspect for damage, cracking or deterioration. Replace if faulty.


CAUTIONS:

1. Operation of any type, including idling, should be avoided if engine misfiring occurs. Under this condition the exhaust system will operate at abnormally high temperature, which may cause damage to the catalyst or under-body parts of the vehicle.

2. Alteration or deterioration of ignition or fuel system, or any type of operating condition which results in engine misfiring must be corrected to avoid overheating the catalytic converters.

3. Proper maintenance and tune-up according to manufacturer's specifications should be made to correct the conditions as soon as possible.
