How Does A Converter Work

TOP 3 REASONS

CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE

REASON #1

• Thermal Failure (Rich Condition)

– Engine Operating System Component Failure

1. Front O2 Sensor(s).

2. Coolant Temperature Sensor or Thermostat.

3. Ignition Coil(s), Plug Wires, Spark Plugs.

4. Fuel Injectors.

5. Electronic Control Module.

6. Failure To Store Oxygen.

REASON #2

• Deactivation

– Carbon/Soot Substrate Coating

1. Poor Maintenance (Oil Change Interval Irregularity).

2. Obstructed Fuel Injectors, or Throttle Body Injector.

3. Clogged or Dirty Air Filter.

4. Poor Fuel Quality.

5. Improper Installation.


REASON #3

• Contamination

– Chemical Contamination Of The Substrate

1. Antifreeze (Dex-Cool?).

2. Silicone and/or Gasket Sealants.

3. Fuel Additives.

Readiness Drive Cycle Test After all repairs have been made, any trouble codes have been erased and the MIL has been turned off, you will need to perform a Readiness Drive Cycle Test before any emissions tests can be properly done. OBD II systems conduct self-diagnostic system tests under certain conditions or enabling criteria, as listed below. 1. Elapsed time since vehicle engine start up 2. Engine temperature 3. Throttle position 4. Engine speed 5. Vehicle speed Most of the various systems tests, conducted by the different monitors, are only done after the engine has reached normal operating temperature. The computer runs three types of tests: 1. Passive Tests -- These are the tests that monitor a system or component without affecting its

operation. 2. Active Tests -- Where the computer has the monitor produce a test signal so that it’s response can

be checked against stored information. 3. Intrusive Tests -- Where the computer performs system checks that directly affect vehicle performance

and emissions. After a passive test is run and a failure is detected, the computer then performs an active test procedure on the system. If, after the active test, another failure is detected the computer will run an intrusive test. If after the intrusive test another failure is confirmed, the computer may not, at this time, store a trouble code and/or illuminate the MIL until after this same failure occurs after two consecutive test series are completed. Because of this characteristic, it is suggested that you perform the following I/M Readiness Drive Cycle Test TWICE to be sure that all sub-systems have been checked, flags are set and all I/M monitors are in the ready condition. It is important that these benchmarks or messages the OBD II system uses, indicate that all emission monitors have been run before the vehicle is released to the consumer or goes through an I/M 240 test. I/M Readiness Drive Cycle Test Procedure 1. Vehicle should be started with the engine cold. 2. Let vehicle idle until the engine is at normal operating temperature (the engine coolant temperature sensor

should read 180 0 F of higher). Generally 5 to 10 minutes is sufficient depending on outside ambient temperature.

3. Put vehicle in gear (with brake applied) and idle for no less than 45 seconds. 4. Accelerate to 45 MPH with no more than ¼ throttle and maintain speed for a full 10 seconds. 5. Decelerate to 35-38 MPH and maintain a steady throttle and speed for 1 minute. 6. Decelerate to 25 MPH and then operate between 25 MPH and 40 MPH for 4 minutes. DO NOT operate at

more than ¾ throttle for this test segment. 7. Decelerate and idle engine for 10 seconds. 8. Accelerate gently to 55 MPH using NO MORE than ½ throttle, maintain speed for a full 10 seconds. 9. Continue driving at 40 MPH – 55 MPH, Use a steady throttle pressure and maintain speed for a full 2

minutes. 10. Return to your shop and shut the vehicle off. It is recommended that the above I/M Readiness Drive Cycle Test be conducted a second time. If time permits, it is in your best interest to run the cycle again after the vehicle has COOLED down. Doing this second Readiness Drive Cycle Test should insure that all problems have been repaired, Flags have been set, all monitors are in the ready condition, the MIL will remain out, and the vehicle is ready to pass an I/M 240 test. If the MIL comes back on during Drive Cycle Test 1 or 2, then further repairs are most likely needed or you did not perform the Drive Cycle Test properly. It is better that you discover this before you return the vehicle to the customer allowing you to complete the needed repairs.
