I’m concerned about my car passing the emissions test here in Pakistan. Could a damaged o r inefficient catalytic converter be the reason my Khyber is failing to meet emission standards?

Yes, a damaged o r inefficient catalytic converter can cause your Khyber to fail emissions tests. The catalytic converter plays a vital role in reducing the harmful gases emitted from the engine, such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides.

Why It Happens:

A damaged o r clogged catalytic converter can fail to convert these harmful gases, resulting in higher emissions.

In Pakistan, failing to meet emission standards can lead to difficulties during vehicle inspections and registration renewal.

Solution:

Have the catalytic converter inspected and replaced if necessary. Some diagnostic tools o r sensors can help determine if it’s functioning properly.

Replacement may be necessary if cleaning doesn’t resolve the issue.

Ensure that your exhaust system is free of leaks o r blockages to avoid further complications.
