High Heat Warning System

A thermo sensor is installed on some models to alert the driver if a high heat situation exists in the converter. This condition may be the result of an improperly tuned vehicle or other mechanical malfunction.

NOTE: Some models also have the warning system incorporated into the air injection system. In case of converter overheating, it stops air injection operation to protect the converter.
