The emissions system is a network comprised of sensors, valves, and processors intricately woven into the car’s performance, fuel efficiency, and overall health.
The essential components in the emission system are a catalytic converter that converts harmful pollutants into less harmful ones, an oxygen sensor that measures the amount of oxygen in the fume, an EGR valve that regulates NOx emission, an evaporative emission control that prevents fuel from moving into the exhaust, positive crankcase ventilation the prevents unburnt fuel movement in exhaust and prevents pressure build up.

Emission System Repairs and Maintenance near Charleston and Myrtle Beach
Natural aging and wear, contamination and clogging, driving habits, poor fuel quality, and engine malfunctions can affect the emission system and damage its essential components. As a result, the vehicle exhibits signs of malfunction, such as reduced fuel efficiency, poor engine performance, unusual smells, increased exhaust smoke, a failed emissions test, and an emission warning light. Upon encountering malfunction signs, you must visit EuroPro for emission service of your European car in Charleston or Myrtle Beach.
Diagnostic Inspection
The repair service for emission system malfunctions starts with a diagnostic inspection at EuroPro in Charleston and Myrtle Beach. On-board diagnosis system scanning is the first step in the diagnosis process. Advanced brand-specific scanners are used to access the vehicle’s OBD, and manufacturer-specific error codes are used to analyze and identify the malfunction. While the engine is running, live data from the exhaust module is collected and compared with the set parameters. Other tests conducted by our technicians are visual tests and smoke tests.
If the malfunction is still not identified, component-specific analysis is performed on the emission components, such as sensor testing, EGR valve cleaning, catalytic converter efficiency test, DPF resignation, etc.
Repair Process
The repair process, depending on the damage, may involve replacing essential emission components, cleaning clogged pathways, or recalibrating the control unit. Crucial components like sensors and catalytic converters are replaced when they malfunction. Control unit issues are diagnosed and corrected using a diagnostic scanner, and the underlying causes of these malfunctions are also addressed. After the repairs using the diagnostic scanner, the error codes are erased from the control unit. Then, a driving test is conducted to evaluate the repair at our shop near Charleston and Myrtle Beach.
Proactive Maintenance
Although an extensive repair scope is available, preventive maintenance remains the most effective way to reduce the risk of emissions issues in European vehicles. The Emission system maintenance service provided by our shop near Charleston and Myrtle Beach is:
