EMISSIONS INSPECTION
Most 1996 or newer gasoline-powered vehicles, and most 1997 or newer diesel-powered vehicles, are subject to the On-Board Diagnostics Generation II (OBDII) emissions inspection. This test examines the Malfunction Indicator Lamp, also known as the “check engine” light, for operation/illumination, and verifies the test results of the vehicle’s “on-board emissions diagnostic” system.
A “Low Enhanced” emissions inspection is required for most other vehicles manufactured prior to 1996. “Low Enhanced” emissions testing includes checking the gas cap, catalytic converter, exhaust gas re-circulation valve, crankcase ventilation system, air injection system, evaporative emissions control, fuel inlet restrictor and thermostatic air cleaner.
