1994 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN catalytic converter

some feature of your vehicle that you can get along without-like the radio
or cigarette lighter-and use its fuse, if it is of the value you need. Replace
it as soon as you can. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers’’ in the Index
for
more information.
Exhaust System
To help prevent damage to your exhaust system, do not continue to drive
your vehicle if you notice:
Engine misfiring
Loss of performance
Other unusual operating conditions
Have your engine and exhaust system serviced regularly.
Three- Way Catalytic Converter (gas engines)
Your vehicle’s three-way catalytic converter is designed to reduce the
pollutants in your vehicle’s exhaust. Use only unleaded fuel in your vehicle.
If you use leaded fuel, you could damage your three-way catalytic converter
and other engine components.
Three- Way Catalytic Converter (diesel engines)
Your vehicle’s three-way catalytic converter is designed to reduce the
particulates in your vehicle’s exhaust. If your vehicle’s three-way catalytic
converter ever needs to be replaced, it must be replaced with a three-way
catalytic converter intended for use with diesel engines only.
Engine Contro/ Module System (All T61 equipped
vehicles and diesel engine vehicles below
8,500 lbs. GVWR)
Gasoline Engines
This system has an oxygen sensor (02) that helps keep your engine’s
air-fuel mixture at a proper level. Use only unleaded fuel in your vehicle. If
you use leaded fuel, you could damage your oxygen sensor
(02) and
three-way catalytic converter.
Diesel Vehicles Below S,5UU LBS. GVWR
This system monitors engine speed and throttle position. It adjusts exhaust
gas recirculation to limit emissions.

Lap and Shoulder Belts Condition and Operation - Inspect belt system,
including webbing, buckles, latch plates, retractors, guide loops\
and
anchors. Have
a belt assembly replaced if the webbing has been cut or
otherwise damaged.

oil.
Also lubricate the tailgate, tailgate handle pivot points, and tailgate
mounted spare tire carrier (if equipped). Lubricate the body hood,
fuel door
and rear compartment hinges, latches and locks including interior glove box
and console doors, and any folding seat hardware. Lubricate the hood safety
lever pivot and prop rod pivot. More frequent lubrication may be required

a corrosive environment.
Periodic Maintenance Inspections - Listed below are inspections and
services which should be performed at least twice
a year (for instance each
spring or fall). You should let your
GM dealer’s service department or other
qualified service center do
these jobs. Make sure any necessary repairs are
completed at once.
Steering and Suspension Inspection? - Inspect front and rear suspension
and steering system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs
of wear or
lack of lubrication. Inspect power steering lines and hoses for proper
hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Lubricate the steering linkage.
Accelerator Control System - On gasoline engines, lubricate the pivot at
the
TBI throttle lever stud with engine oil. Do not oil any accelerator or
cruise control cables. Replace any cables that have high effort or excessive
wear.
Exhaust System Inspection - Inspect the complete system including the
three-way catalytic converter. Inspect the body near
the exhaust system.
Look for broken, damaged, missing or out-of-position parts,
as well as,
open seams, holes, loose connections or other conditions which could cause
a heat buildup
in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes seep into the
passenger compartments.
Drive Axle Service? - Check readfront axle tluid level and add as needed,
Check constant velocity joints and axle seals for leaking.
Transfer Case (Four-wheel Drive) Inspection+ - Every 12 months or at
oil change intervals, check front axle and transfer case and add lubricant
when necessary. Oil the control lever pivot point and all exposed control
linkage. Check
vent hose at transfer case for kinks and proper installation.
More frequent lubrication may be required on heavy-duty or off-road use.
?A fluid loss in these systems may indicate a problem. Have them inspected
and repaired at once.
