Your Chevrolet Lumina catalytic converter is located in your exhaust system, where it performs its important task of removing some of the pollutants that are the byproduct of burning the petroleum-based fuel that the internal combustion engine relies upon to produce the power that propels your vehicle. The catalytic converter has been in use for decades now, but over time it has continuously been improved, making it more capable and efficient today than it was in the beginning. With the improvements in the catalytic converter have come stricter emissions standards, and if your catalytic converter is not functioning properly, your Chevrolet Lumina will not pass the mandatory annual inspection because your vehicle will be releasing an unacceptable amount of pollutants into the air.
Your catalytic converter is a well made part, but through the years, due to its position underneath your vehicle, vulnerable to road debris and road splash, which often has a high content of corrosive salt during the cold months, it can be damaged by rust to the point where it becomes ineffective. Unfortunate driving incidents can also damage your catalytic converter, as can failing to make other repairs, such as replacing a bad oxygen sensor soon enough, as that can affect the content of the exhaust to such a degree that the catalytic converter is overwhelmed by fumes that would normally be regulated by the operation of the oxygen sensor.
