Hyundai Tucson: Exhaust Emission Control System - Description
Exhaust emissions (CO, HC, NOx) are controlled by a combination of engine modifications and the addition of special control components.
Modifications to the combustion chamber, intake manifold, camshaft and ignition system consist the basic control system.
These items have been integrated into a highly effective system which controls exhaust emissions while maintaining good drivability and fuel economy.
Description
The catalytic converter of the gasoline engine is a three way catalyst. It oxidizes carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons (HC), and separates oxygen from the oxides of nitrogen (NOx).

Removal and Installation
Catalytic Converter (WCC)
- Remove the exhaust manifold.
(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Exhaust Manifold")
Installation
- Install in the reverse order of removal.
Description
The Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) system prevents Particulate Matter (PM) from being discharged to the atmosphere and consists of a filter assembly, two Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensors (EGTS).
The filter is integrated in the catalytic converter assembly and has honeycomb cell structure which can filter the PM in the exhaust gas. While the exhaust gas passes the GPF, This gathered PM in GPF is called "soot".
