How to Get Ready for an Emissions Inspection
Before your emissions test, it helps to make sure your vehicle is up to date on maintenance and that the check engine light is not illuminated. Driving for about 30 minutes before the inspection can also help by bringing the engine up to normal operating temperature, which may improve the accuracy of the test.
Onboard Diagnostics (OBD) Check
An OBD inspection is used to confirm that your vehicle’s onboard computer system is working properly and able to detect any emissions-related problems.
