**How Long Does a Three-Way Catalytic Converter Last?** In the United States, Japan, and Europe, the typical lifespan of a three-way catalytic converter is between 100,000 to 200,000 kilometers. However, in China, the average service life tends to be shorter, ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. This difference can be attributed to variations in fuel quality, driving conditions, and maintenance practices. A three-way catalytic converter plays a crucial role in reducing harmful emissions by converting carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into less harmful substances like carbon dioxide and nitrogen. As environmental regulations become stricter, more vehicles are equipped with these converters along with oxygen sensors to ensure optimal performance and compliance with emission standards. **When Should You Replace a Three-Way Catalytic Converter?** Under normal operating conditions, the converter doesn't need to be replaced unless it becomes damaged or clogged. Regular cleaning can help maintain its efficiency. However, if you notice visible particles in the exhaust, a damaged casing, or a noticeable drop in engine performance, it may be time to replace the unit. **Cleaning Steps for a Three-Way Catalytic Converter:** 1. Turn off the engine and set the ignition switch to the OFF position. 2. Disconnect the fuel pump fuse or remove the fuel pump relay. 3. Remove the fuel supply and return lines, then connect them to a cleaning machine using the appropriate quick connectors. The return line can be sealed with a blind plug. 4. Add the ternary cleaning agent (such as 1004 Fuel Repair Agent) to the cleaning tank at a ratio of 1 bottle per 1,000 ml of water. 5. Connect the cleaning machine to the battery: red cable to the positive terminal, black cable to the negative terminal. 6. Adjust the pressure regulator to low and set the timer to the highest setting. Turn on the cleaning machine and adjust the pressure according to your vehicle's fuel pump specifications. 7. Check all connections for leaks and ensure everything is secure. 8. Start the engine and begin the cleaning process. The engine may stall when the cleaning agent is depleted. If an error occurs, stop the process immediately and address the issue before continuing. 9. After cleaning, turn off the machine, disconnect the equipment, and restore the original fuel lines and wiring. 10. Restart the engine and check for any leaks. Once everything is functioning properly, the cleaning is complete. Regular maintenance and proper care can significantly extend the life of your catalytic converter, ensuring both better performance and reduced environmental impact.
