Where is the car's three-way catalytic converter located?
1 Answers
The three-way catalytic converter is installed in the vehicle's exhaust system. Here is more information about the three-way catalytic converter: 1. The three-way catalytic converter can convert various major harmful substances in vehicle exhaust into harmless substances. 2. The vehicle is equipped with a three-way catalytic converter and an oxygen sensor device, which can transform harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted from the vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. 3. If the three-way catalytic converter is damaged, the secondary oxygen sensor will not be able to correctly provide data to the vehicle's computer, leading to either too lean or too rich fuel mixture concentration. A too lean mixture can cause ignition difficulties, weak driving, engine backfiring, etc., while a too rich mixture can increase fuel consumption, incomplete combustion, and severe carbon deposits in the cylinders and spark plugs. When such faults occur, the engine fault light should illuminate.
