ASE X1: Diagnostic Tests For Catalytic Converters
The X1 ASE Certification Test has a section (8 questions) focused on emissions system diagnosis. For that section, among other things, you will need to: • Identify failed catalytic converter(s); determine cause of failure; determine needed repair. • Identify failed oxygen sensor(s) (O2S/HO2S) component(s) and circuitry; determine cause of failure; determine needed repair. • Inspect
Understanding Codes And Catalytic Converters
Here is a dilemma that many shops encounter on a regular basis. A good customer comes in with the engine light ablaze. Running your usual diagnostics, you encounter a catalytic converter efficiency code, slow to respond oxygen sensor or some proprietary fuel trim code. Other than the light, the customer has not noticed any other
TECH TIP: Using a Five-Gas Analyzer to Diagnose Catalytic Converters
One of the most effective ways to resolve emissions issues is by sampling the exhaust gases with a five-gas analyzer. Levels of the five gases can indicate the root cause of the problem.

Catalytic Converters: New Diagnostic Strategies
Catalytic converter failures on today’s vehicles are rarely caused by defects in catalytic converters. Most catalytic converter failures can be traced back to problems caused by what happens in the combustion chamber. Almost every part on the engine determines how long it will last. It could be a faulty line of computer code that pulses an injector too long, or it could be a stuck piston ring that allows oil to be sucked into the combustion chamber. These little details can limit the life of a catalytic converter.
Catalytic Converters: Replacement Is Changing
If your shop is not in California, the replacement of the catalytic converter is simple and typically there is only one replacement option. Most shops understand that they must replace the converter and that using a test pipe or bypassing the converter is bad for business and against the EPA regulations and could result in big fines.
Thieves Stealing Catalytic Converters from Repair Shops
Shop owners in Toledo, OH, have seen an increase in the number of catalytic converters that are being stolen from vehicles in their parking lots. They are hoping that surveillance video will help the police catch the thieves.
Repair Shop Has Catalytic Converters Cut From a Dozen Vehicles
A repair shop in Lilburn, GA, was recently targeted by a thief who cut the catalytic converters from 12 vehicles that were on the lot. Four of the converters were taken from customers’ vehicles.
