The Catalytic Converter is an integral part of your Nissan's exhaust system. The Catalytic Converter helps regulate emissions by reducing and filtering out toxic pollutants and gases. Without a working Catalytic Converter, toxic fumes from the internal combustion process in the engine could allow harmful gases to exit the exhaust system 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 may experience a few signs 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.
In addition to these symptoms, a bad Catalytic Converter can cause your Nissan's check engine light to display. However, an illuminated check engine light doesn't always mean there is an issue with the Catalytic Converter. If the check engine light is on in your Nissan, scan the vehicle's onboard computer for error codes to find out what is triggering 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 become clogged or pieces inside the Catalytic Converter can detach and cause a rattling sound inside the converter while you drive. Other issues on your vehicle may cause the Catalytic Converter to wear out as well. These problems can include a lean-running engine which can cause 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 think your Nissan's Catalytic Converter is wearing down quicker than it should, get a vehicle inspection at your nearest authorized Nissan service center. Buy a genuine, new Catalytic Converter from Nissan Parts and have a professional Nissan technician install it.
