Learn how the catalyst efficiency monitor verifies catalytic converter operation.  Observe the sensors and systems used  to keep exhaust emissions within predetermined values. John demonstrates how the PCM compares the signals from the upstream and downstream oxygen sensors to determine the state of the converter.  You will be able to use this information to accurately diagnose the efficiency of catalytic and exhaust system operation.\n \n \n \n  \n \n\n \n \n\n\n \n  \n  URL:https://thegrouptrainingacademy.com/event/zoom-catalyst-efficiency-live-course-release/ CATEGORIES:Featured Course ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thegrouptrainingacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/12/TGTA-Catalyst-efficiency-480X320.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221221T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221221T130000 DTSTAMP:20260609T034638 CREATED:20221202T212944Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221202T213021Z UID:278020-1671624000-1671627600@thegrouptrainingacademy.com SUMMARY:Hybrid EV Scan Tool Diagnostics DESCRIPTION:DECEMBER FEATURED COURSE\nRegister for the Zoom meeting here!\nJoin AVI instructor Andy Tirado while he takes you through HEV/EV systems and their configurations.
