Answer 2

The thermal reactor is used to accelerate the oxidation of exhaust gases. This device is installed in the exhaust system.

Secondary air is injected into the thermal reactor to mix with the exhaust gases, which are burned again in the thermal reactor to reduce the quantity of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) in the exhaust.

The thermal reactor should be inspected for proper installation. Also look for heat-related and other types of damage
