How would you check for a plugged catalytic converter on a 2007 Chrysler Sebring 2.7

Catalytic converter might be plugged solid. Please also check the cylinder compression!

Hello Bobby-Jo Hill,

Fix it... or get it fixed...
(as troubles go... not horrible (wear gloves)).

Looking at your owners manual ... ( Red symbol)
Item 19 appears on the attached PAGE 138...

Chrysler 2007 Sebring Sedan Instruction Manual Page 138

Defined as YOUR...
ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR.

If you take it to a DEALER... (I don't recommend)
it is likely their "mechanics" are twice as old as your
Like... "MAP" (Manifold Pressure SENSOR)...

Take it to a RECOMMENDED mechanic... See if there are complimentary READINGS available and get an ESTIMATE.

Your manual indicates the car should still be drivable...
(MEANING a TOW isn't YET required ...
(plan no long trips)).

Once the codes (diagnostic trouble) are written down...
You will have a real idea what you need...
(come back here & repost... certainly take pictures).

Just remember... replacing OXYGEN SENSORS make about as much sense as buying a new thermometer... if you have a FEVER.

Save the money... a collapsed muffler or catalytic converter
could ALSO cause very similar issues... code reading your
On-Board Diagnostic systems is the only really cost effective way to resolve your issue...

Go Click on the ROCKAUTO Link below...
Note a few of the prices... and pay close attention
to EXHAUST parts if you live in a C.A.R.B. compliant state
(like New York or California) purchasing the "WRONG" part
can be HIDEOUSLY expensive...

What I like MOST about ROCKAUTO...
THEY WARN YOU...
(3 engines possible, 2.4 (4 cylinder), 2.7 & 3.5L (V6))

Good luck

It is the sensor that is located to the rear of the main catalytic converter.

follow exhaust pipes from the engine bay, the first muffler type box they enter is the catalytic convertor

It's not that simple, this code is a catalytic converter efficiency code. Possible causes are bad Oxygen sensor or bad catalytic converter. You will need to have a competent Technician determine which one.

Stop using it,the flashing light is a Class A converter ruining
misifire,so nothing was fixed so far

Sounds like you have cylinder misfires that ruined the
converter & only the converter was replaced.

The last thing you do, is the converter, AFTER you diagnose the systems to find out why it failed
