Description The catalytic converter of the gasoline engine is a three way catalyst. It oxidizes carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons (HC), and separates oxygen from the oxides of nitrogen (NOx).
Inspection The following section describes how to diagnose faults using a diagnostic instrument. 1. Connect the cable of GDS to the data link connector in driver side crash pad lower panel, and turn on the GDS.
Inspection 1. Turn the ignition switch OFF. 2. Disconnect the evaporator temperature sensor connector. 3. Measure the resistance between terminal "+" and "-" of the evaporator temperature sensor.
