WHEREAS, Miller Catalyzer Corporation (Miller) of 3295 Depot Road, Hayward, California 94545, has applied to the Air Resources Board for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 271 56 to market its new aftermarket Series 31000 three-way catalytic converter (TWC) for installation on selected 1996 through 2002 model year DaimlerChrysler trucks equipped with on-board diagnostic II (OBD-II) systems as specified in Appendix D-353-20 and incorporated herein. The Series 31000 TWC will be used for single (one unit) exhaust system applications for selected DaimlerChrysler trucks. Series 31000 TWC may also be installed on non-OBD II vehicles (1995 and older) similar in engine and exhaust configuration to those listed in Appendix D-353-20. WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority vested in the Executive Officer by Heal,thand Safety Code Section 39515 arid in the Chief, Mobile Source Operations Division by Health and Safety Code Section 39516 and Executive Order G-02-003, Air Resources Board finds that the above aftermarket catalytic converter complies with the California Vehicle Code Section 271 56 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h). The emissions performance of the catalytic converter was based on durability bench-aging by Delphi Energy and Chassis Systems using Air Resources Board-modified RAT-A bench-aging cycle for 100 hours, as specified in the "Optional Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Non-original Equipment Catalytic Converters Equipped with On-Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) Systems." WHEREAS, emissions tests conducted at the Automotive Testing Development Services, Inc. (ATDS), Ontario, California, using a 1998 3.3L Plymouth Voyager equipped with a single exhaust system, and certified to the Low Emission Vehicle emission standards, and light-duty truck 2 weight category, showed that the vehicle met the applicable emission standards with Series 31000 TWC (one unit) installed. OBD II compatibility tests performed on the same test vehicle showed that Series 31000 TWC did not affect the vehicle's ability to perform OBD II system monitoring. Emission test results in grams per mile are shown below.
