The Catalytic Converter is an integral part of your Nissan's exhaust system. The Catalytic Converter helps regulate emissions by filtering and reducing pollutants and toxic gases. Without a functioning Catalytic Converter on your Nissan, toxic fumes from the engine combustion process could allow harmful gases to exit the exhaust system into the environment. Make sure your Nissan has a working exhaust system by ordering a new Catalytic Converter from genuine Nissan Parts.
If your Catalytic Converter is worn out or not working, you may experience a few signs, such as excessive heat coming from underneath your Nissan, reduced engine performance or acceleration, darker exhaust smoke, or a sulfuric or rotten egg smell from your exhaust.
In addition to these symptoms, a bad Catalytic Converter can trigger your vehicle's check engine light. However, an illuminated check engine light may not always signify there's something wrong with the Catalytic Converter. If your Nissan is showing the check engine light, it's best to connect a scanner to the onboard computer to find out what is triggering the check engine light. Your nearest authorized Nissan service center can help.
Over time, your Catalytic Converter can wear out. It may become clogged or pieces within the Catalytic Converter can detach and cause a rattling sound inside the converter while you drive. Additionally, other problems in your Nissan can cause the Catalytic Converter to wear out. These problems can include the engine running too lean and causing the catalytic converter to run hot, or the engine burning oil. Make sure you rule out other potential issues for a bad Catalytic Converter before replacing it.
If you believe your Catalytic Converter isn't lasting as long as it should, visit your closest authorized Nissan service center for a vehicle inspection. Buy a genuine, new Catalytic Converter from Nissan Parts and have it installed by a professional Nissan technician.
