The number below refer to the step number on the diagnostic procedure.

  1. - If any component DTCs are set, diagnose those DTCs first. A malfunction in a component can cause the converter to appear degraded, or may have caused the malfunction.
  2. - This step includes checks for conditions that can cause the TWC converter to appear degraded. Before you proceed with this test, repair any conditions that you find.
  3. - If you need to replace the TWC converter, be sure that another condition which could cause damage to the converter is not present. Correct any possible causes of converter damage before replacing the catalytic converter in order to avoid damage to the replacement converter.
