Inspection of the catalyst can be performed only at service stations, because the system analysis requires special equipment and specific skills. Independently, you can only assess the structural condition of the part. If it has mechanical damages, even in the absence of fault signs you will soon need replacement of the catalyst.
Cell throughput is measured via pressure gauge connected instead of the first oxygen sensor. After this procedure you need to accelerate the engine to 3000 rpm. Normal system pressure should not be higher than the level of 0.3 kgf / cm2 or 2.94 Pa.
The service life of the catalytic converter is designed for 100 000-150 000 kilometers. Exceeding it is strongly not recommended, because the decrease in capacity of the catalyst cells and resulting increased pressure in the system may cause an engine failure.
