Catalytic Converter: Testing and Inspection

1.

Remove the catalytic converter from the vehicle.

2.

Inspect the visible internal portions of the catalytic converter for signs of melting or damage due to misfire.

3.

Gently shake the catalytic converter and listen for signs of loose components.

Shining a light through the opposite opening, observe through the converter to determine if the converter is plugged by carbon buildup or lead
contamination.

If any of the above conditions are found replace the converter.
