Yes.
Not unless it is clogged or damaged. You cannot run the car without a converter if that is what you are asking. It is illegal and the engine will not run properly with the converter removed.

Either the converter is partially clogged and needs replacing or you have a miss in the engine which is dumping raw fuel into the converter where it is being burned.

Where could I find diagram for 2003 catalytic converter on a Mazada 6
The bank 2 is located on the driver side of the engine on the Mazda Tribute. The Sensor 2 is located after the catalytic converter.
I have a 1986 Mazda familia/323, whose heat light is on. I was told it was the catalytic converter that has collapsed. Infact it had and I dismantled the exhaust system and found bits of the catalytic in the muffler. I dismantled the rest of the system and found where the converter was. I removed all the catalytic and reassembled the exhaust. Guess what? the light is still on! So I am still ssearching for more info.
about $250
There is two oxygen sensors. One is located before the catalytic converter is located under the heat sheld. The oxygen sensor after the catalytic converter is found under the catalytic converter (under the car) before the catalytic transfer pipe.
None. A Diesel Oxidation Catalyst and a catalytic converter (as used on gas engines) are extremely different, as is their construction.
