CATALYTIC CONVERTER - LIGHT ON DASH - ALL CATS REMOVED
Problem - Catalytic converter lights (L or R or both) appears on dash and beeping sound when driving.
Possibility 1 - Owners have sourced the problem to be the thermocouple controller. The thermocouples activate at approx. 1200-1300 degrees F to prevent cat meltdown and the very real fire hazard! It's not possible for the exhaust gas to reach 1200-1300 degrees F without cats. The controllers shut down "the offending banks" injectors (causing a power loss) in case raw fuel is flooding a cat which is a very bad thing!
Unplug the controller. Picture below has an arrow pointing to panel where the controller is positioned. The panel needs to be removed. The controller is about the size of a cigarette packet.
Possibility 2 - Some owners have said that their cars have never run so well after removing the cats and removing/unplugging the thermocouple controller.
Possibility 3 - This happened to me when I emptied my cats. I removed the thermocouple and the lights and beeping went away immediately.
(Do not unplug the controller if cats are still on car).
