    If your local guy has the necessary diagnostic tool then yeah.

    Anti Pollution Fault.
    We receive large numbers of enquiries with regards to the anti pollution fault. This usually means a warning saying - Anti Pollution System faulty - is showing on the display. Quite often the engine warning light illuminates at the same time. It is also possible there are no noticeable symptoms.
    In short, this warning indicates the presence of a fault, either in the engine management system or the transmission management system, that affects the vehicle's emissions.

    Any malfunction like a slight misfire, fuel mixture too rich or lean over a period of time, or even a problem in the transmission can trigger this warning.
    In every case without exception there is only one step that can be taken at the earliest convenience. Take the car to a workshop

    - DO NOT ASK PEUGEOTLOGIC WHY THIS IS HAPPENING - If you don't wish or can't go to a Peugeot Service Centre then you can go to a independent workshop as long as they have a suitable diagnostic scan tool.

    A scan of all the systems will soon point in the direction of the problem. The cause can be in the transmission or then engine management system, more often in the engine side. Reading the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) is always the essential first step of a diagnostic procedure and will often lead to a quick resolution. However a resolution is not always instantaneous and further testing may be required. The on-board diagnostic system can never give an absolute answer, it will point the technician in the direction and he has hopefully the experience and the skills to drill down to the root of the problem.
