Will a bad catalytic converter cause a flashing check engine light?
A blown catalytic converter – a repair that can cost $2,500 or more – is one result of driving a vehicle with a flashing check engine light. This type of problem can also cause damage to oxygen sensors and other emissions-system components. Ultimately, an engine misfire is the most common cause of a flashing CEL.
What causes a check engine light to come on after a catalytic converter is replaced?
This trouble code appears when the unit can’t sufficiently reduce the carbon emissions from the exhaust. However, a catalytic converter does not normally wear out. There is usually some other reason for their failure. If you spend $900 or more to replace the catalytic converter, you may discover the check engine light coming on again later.
Can a catalytic converter go bad on a Chevy Cruze?
I have a 2013 Chevy Cruze 1.4L turbo 128k miles automatic. I also have check engine light with the p0420 code. The other day I was driving on the high way and the traction control/stabilitrak lights came on and also displayed low power engine out output. So I pulled over luckily an exit was close. I read the manual and did what it said.
Why is my catalytic converter not working properly?
A technician can determine if the sensor is responding as it should. Other engine problems, such as fuel trim running too rich or too lean, oil or coolant burning, or engine misfire problems could all lead to catalytic converter contamination or premature failure.
When does the cruise control light come on?
Hello. Subaru has designed their vehicles to turn on the cruise control light when their is a problem with the power train system. This keeps you from using the cruise control when there is a problem. If there is a catalytic converter code then it may be a failure in the converter or an issue with an oxygen sensor.
