Your Nissan's Catalytic Converter is an important part of your vehicle's exhaust system. The Catalytic Converter helps regulate emissions by filtering and reducing pollutants and toxic gases. If your Catalytic Converter isn't working properly on your Nissan, toxic fumes from the internal combustion process in the engine could emit harmful gases through the exhaust into the environment. Help ensure your Nissan has an optimal exhaust system.
If your current Catalytic Converter isn't working or is worn out, you might notice some symptoms, such as reduced acceleration, excessive heat coming from underneath your Nissan, a sulfuric or rotten egg smell from the exhaust, darker exhaust smoke, or even slow engine performance.
Additionally, a malfunctioning Catalytic Converter can cause the check engine light to display on your dashboard. However, the check engine light may not always signify there's something wrong with the Catalytic Converter. If the check engine light is on in your Nissan, scan the vehicle's onboard computer for error codes to determine the source of the check engine light. Bring your Nissan to your closest authorized service center for professional help.
Over time, your Catalytic Converter can wear out. It may get clogged or pieces inside the Catalytic Converter can break off inside the converter, causing a rattle while you drive. The Catalytic Converter can also be worn out by other problems in your vehicle. These problems may include the engine running too lean and causing the catalytic converter to run hot, or the engine burning too much oil. Make sure you rule out other potential issues for a bad Catalytic Converter before replacing it.
If you suspect the Catalytic Converter on your Nissan is wearing down quicker than it should, head to your nearest authorized service center for a full vehicle inspection. Get a new Catalytic Converter from genuine Nissan Parts and have a professional Nissan technician install it.
