Default How accurate is OBD scanner???

Hello everyone, I have 2007 nissan with almost 300k millage. I need to bring my car for a smog check and the check engine light came on and first I change the battery and almost replace new set of spark plug and the check engine still on. A friend of mine helped me with the OBD scan the car and it shows this code “ P0420 “ and I wonder how accurate is the OBD scanner because I don’t want to spend money on catalytic converter and it won’t pass the smog check? Thanks!

Edit:guys i found a site near me and it does free shipping too!! https://ljmcardiagnostics.co.uk/
Thanks you!

The scan tool simply reports what fault codes are stored in the car's ECU. It doesn't make things up.

Judging by the fact that you posted a question about your Toyota Camry in an R35 forum I'd question the operator, not the tool.
