- Essential part of your exhaust system
- Helps control emissions by filtering and reducing pollutants
- Replace when failing or worn out
The Catalytic Converter is an integral part of your Nissan's exhaust system. Your Nissan's Catalytic Converter helps limit emissions by reducing and filtering out toxic pollutants and gases. If your Catalytic Converter isn't working properly on your Nissan, toxic fumes from the engine combustion process could emit harmful gases through the exhaust into the environment. Ensure the exhaust system on your Nissan is working like it should by ordering a new Catalytic Converter from genuine Nissan Parts.
If your Nissan has an old or worn out Catalytic Converter, you might notice some symptoms, 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 cause the check engine light to display on your dashboard. However, a check engine light on your dashboard doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem with the Catalytic Converter. If your Nissan is showing the check engine light, connect a scanner to the vehicle's computer to determine the source of the check engine light. Bring your Nissan to your closest authorized service center for professional help.
Your Catalytic Converter can wear out over time. 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 issues can include the engine running lean, 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 suspect the Catalytic Converter on your Nissan 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.
