They check the same thing they would on any other vehicle. The exhaust is the major concern. What's getting put out in the economy. The Carolinas and Georgia do not require an emissions test.
I am getting ready for my job interview by reviewing my notes and practicing my answers.
Your vehicle's OBD system collects data while you are driving and uses it later to determine if your vehicle passes the OBD emissions test. In some cases, the computer cannot collect enough data and indicates it is "not ready" to provide test results. This can occur if repair work was performed or the battery was disconnected recently. It normally takes at least a week of combined highway and city driving for the computer to complete its systems check and be "ready" for the OBD test. If a vehicle fails because of an emissions problem, it needs to be repaired and pass a re-test at the same inspection station within 60 days of the initial test. For vehicles that are "not ready," the OBD system was unable to complete its systems check for the OBD test. This is usually due to recent repairs or a recently disconnected battery. Usually, at least a week of combined highway and city driving will reset the OBD system so that it will be "ready" for the OBD test. If your vehicle is still "not ready" at the re-test, the inspector will give you a notice explaining that additional driving is required to reset system monitors. After 60 have days have passed, you will need to pay an additional fee for each subsequent OBD test.
your vehicle must have an emissions test for registration renewal, beginning when it is five years old. If your vehicle requires an emissions test, you will receive a reminder as part of your vehicle licence renewal application
Not if they test emissions.
No, they do not.
No
Yes if it is emissions related.
After one year, all new cars bought must pass the emissions test in counties that require the test. Once a vehicle is 25 years old, the emissions test is no longer required.
The only way to get out of an emissions test is if you register your vehicle with an address outside of a zipcode that has mandatory testing.
