The Chrysler Sebring catalytic converter is quite possibly one of the most misunderstood components installed on your vehicle. With its fancy name and typically high price tag, it is easy to mistakenly believe that the catalytic converter has to be complicated. In truth, though the Sebring catalytic converter performs a complicated and specialized function, it is basically just another type of filter.

Where your air filter, fuel filter, and oil filter work to remove solid contaminants from the various supplies running through your vehicle, your Chrysler Sebring catalytic converter removes contaminants from the exhaust leaving your cylinders. However, since your catalytic converter works with gas instead of solids, it can’t perform its job with a screen-type filter.

Instead, the Sebring catalytic converter uses small amounts of precious metals (hence the high price tag) embedded in the walls of the honeycomb structure to create a chemical reaction with your exhaust gas. When exhaust leaves your cylinders, it contains harmful carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and hydrocarbons. As it passes through your Chrysler Sebring catalytic converter, the molecules of these pollutants are smashed and re-formed to create environmentally safe compounds: nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. These substances are then passed out of your vehicle through your tailpipe. A faulty Sebring catalytic converter not only pollutes the environment, but also causes sluggish engine performance, lowered fuel economy, and foul-smelling black exhaust smoke.
