Check your gas cap. The check engine light may come on if the gas cap isn't on tight enough.
As for whether a car can pass inspection in Maine this way, I do not know.
In Massachusetts you cannot pass inspections with your engine light on.
The check engine lamp has absolutely NOTHING to do with the VA safety inspection
Of course not, the problem must be fixed.
In NJ your car will fail inspection if the light is on. In fact, your car will fail inspection up to 200 miles after you have the car serviced due to a problem that resulted in the service engine light being on. I had the service engine light on because of a faulty gas cap. I had the car serviced and then a day later took it to inspection. The car failed because the computer had not reset itself. I was told to come back after driving the car 200 miles because it often takes that long for the computer to show that everything is working fine.
The inspection light will come on when the engine is not operating properly. A check of the engine electronics is needed to find the problem that is turning the light on.
The service engine light is the same thing as a check engine light.
You don't, the light has to be repaired.
First diagnos the problem(whats wrong). Did the "check engine"light come on? Failed smog inspection? "service engine soon"light driveability problems? engine pinging bad gas mileage no power/performance? Need more info. First diagnos the problem(whats wrong). Did the "check engine"light come on?

Yes. Va will pass your car with a check engine light. The inspection station will try to get you to figure out what is wrong with you car but they will not fail it. However, If your SRS light is on, the car will fail the inspection.
No, a person cannot just clean a check engine light to pass inspection. The issue causing the check engine light must be dealt with and fixed.
Unfortunately, not. My inspection in my Jetta is due and I just found out that I need to pay around $1500 to have my airbag light turned off in order to pass inspection.
disconnect the negative battery cable, wait a couple hours, then reconnect. If you are trying to reset the inspection service light you will need to take it to someone or get on a board for model specific info.
