Emission Systems

Your Honda vehicle’s emission system controls emissions, exhaust, and airborne pollutants from reaching the environment. Your Honda Emission System reduces the harmful gases like carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, and oxides nitrogen to help protect the air that we breathe from contamination. The Honda Emission System relies on sensors and computerized engine controls to do its job right. Colorado law mandates that exhaust components must be kept at the proper operating conditions. The only way to know that your Honda vehicle has a factory specified emission system is to have it inspected and maintained as needed with a Honda certified technician.
