Emissions Inspection and Maintenance
Programs
Some state/provincial and local governments have ormight begin programs to inspect the emission controlequipment on the vehicle. Failure to pass thisinspection could prevent getting a vehicle registration.
Here are some things to know to help the vehicle passan inspection:
.The vehicle will not pass this inspection if thecheck engine light is on with the engine running,or if the key is in ON/RUN and the light is not on.
.The vehicle will not pass this inspection if theOBD II (on-board diagnostic) system determinesthat critical emission control systems have notbeen completely diagnosed by the system.The vehicle would be considered not ready forinspection. This can happen if the battery hasrecently been replaced or if the battery has rundown. The diagnostic system is designed toevaluate critical emission control systems duringnormal driving. This can take several days ofroutine driving. If this has been done and thevehicle still does not pass the inspection for lack ofOBD II system readiness, your dealer/retailer canprepare the vehicle for inspection.
