Related parts
- Catalyst Temperature Sensor: A catalyst is a chemical substance that takes the exhaust gas stream from the engine and converts toxic gases and pollutants to less harmful pollutants. The function of the catalyst temperature sensor is to warn the car computer if temperature of the catalyst goes above the safe limit. Problems lead to harmful emissions out of limit
Possible solutions
- Remove and reinstall the gas cap, clear the code, and drive for a day and see if the codes come back.
- Inspect the EVAP (Evaporative Emission Control System) system for cuts/holes in tubes/hoses
