Catalytic Converter - Toyota KUN26L-P series Owner's Manual

z Keep your engine in good running
order. Malfunctions in the engine
electrical system, electronic ignition
system or fuel system could cause
an extremely high three−way cata-
lytic converter temperature.
z If the engine becomes difficult to
start or stalls frequently, take your
vehicle in for a check−up as soon
as possible. Remember, your Toyota
dealer knows your vehicle and its
three−way catalytic converter sys-
tem best.
z To ensure that the three−way cata-
lytic converter and the entire emis-
sion control system operate proper-
ly, your vehicle must receive the
periodic inspections required by the
Toyota Maintenance Schedule. (See
page 209.)
