The Catalytic Converter on your Nissan is an essential component of the exhaust system. Your Nissan's Catalytic Converter helps limit emissions by filtering out and reducing toxic gases and pollutants from the exhaust. Without a functioning Catalytic Converter on your Nissan, toxic fumes from the engine combustion process could release harmful gases into the environment. Ensure the exhaust system on your Nissan is working like it should.
If your Catalytic Converter is worn out or not working, you might notice some symptoms such as darker exhaust smoke, slow engine performance, reduced acceleration, a sulfuric or rotten egg smell from coming from the exhaust, or excessive heat from underneath your Nissan.
In addition to these symptoms, a bad Catalytic Converter can cause the check engine light to display on your dashboard. However, an illuminated check engine light doesn't always mean there is an issue with the Catalytic Converter. If your Nissan is showing the check engine light, scan the vehicle's onboard computer for error codes to determine the source of the check engine light. Get professional assistance at your nearest authorized Nissan service center.
Over time, your Catalytic Converter can wear out. It may get 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 issues can include a lean-running engine which can cause the Catalytic Converter to run hot, or the engine burning oil. Ensure your vehicle doesn't have additional issues that could be causing problems with your Catalytic Converter.
If you believe your Catalytic Converter isn't lasting as long as it should, get a vehicle inspection at your nearest authorized Nissan service center. Get a new Catalytic Converter from genuine Nissan Parts and get installation help from a professional Nissan technician.
