Exhaust system is used to control the engine exhaust, reducing vehicle emissions by precatalytic converter 
and main catalytic converter, and eliminating exhaust noise by muffler. When exhaust system discharges 
exhaust gas, the oxygen sensor monitors oxygen content in the exhaust gas. The engine control module 
adjusts the air-fuel ratio of flammable gas mixture to control vehicle emissions and achieve optimal fuel 
economy according to feedback signals of the oxygen sensor and combining with other sensor signals.

DIAGNOSIS & TESTING

Problem Symptoms Table

HINT:
Use the table below to help determine the cause of problem symptoms. Check each suspected area in 
sequence. Repair or replace the faulty components, or adjust as necessary.

Exhaust System Gas Leakage Inspection

Method to check gas leakage in exhaust system joints:
Warm up engine for a while, and check for gas leakage in the exhaust system joints. A certain amount of gas 
leakage at the exhaust pipe joint is allowed, but gas leakage at the joint between exhaust manifold and 
cylinder head is prohibited. The judging standard is that engine does not shudder and no "poof" sound can be 
heard at the joints.
