Catalytic Converters: Description

LUV pickups use a catalytic converter to reduce hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. Converter is mounted in front of muffler, in exhaust system.

An over-temperature control system may be used to sense catalyst temperature. Over-temperature control system helps prevent temperature buildup and activate a warning light should excessive temperatures occur. Over-temperature control system consists of a thermo sensor, thermo controller, vacuum switching valve, air switching valve, coasting fuel cut device, and warning light and buzzer.
