 The Catalyst is constructed of ceramic material

– Extremely porous structure
– Fuel, Engine Oil, & Coolant cause contamination
– Contamination causes a reduction in catalyst efficiency
 Inspect Catalyst Following Engine Issues/Failures
– Turbocharger (Possible oil or coolant loss)
– Power Cylinder (Possible oil contamination)
– Valve Seal (Possible oil contamination)
 Contaminated Catalyst Assembly
– Must be replaced. No effective cleaning option exists
