The catalytic converter reduces hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide pollutants in exhaust gases. It should be inspected for damage, cracks, and missing fasteners. When replacing, the exhaust system should be cool and new gaskets should be used. Penetrating oil should be applied to the clamp bolts and the nuts should be tightened to the specified torque. After installation, the engine should be started and checked for exhaust leaks.

Due to a Federal warranty covering emissions-related parts like the catalytic converter, it's advised to consult a dealer before replacing it yourself. The converter, an emission control device, comes in two types: the oxidation catalyst and the three-way catalyst. If you suspect malfunction, take it to a dealer or authorized facility for diagnosis. Check the converter for leaks, corrosion, or dents when servicing under body parts. If damaged, replace it. Use a vacuum gauge to diagnose plugged converters by checking for blocked exhaust. If pressure doesn't significantly increase, the exhaust system or converter may be blocked.
