It will fail most tests if the light is on.
Yeah, it can. If something is wrong with your emmision control system, your car can still fail emmisons, but the check engine light doesn't have to be 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.
It could.It could.
Yes if it is emissions related.
Yes, it is a component and like all components it can fail.
It is possible the battery in your remote is dying...that signals a fail to start and a Check Engine Light for low remote battery voltage
It is possible, but usually fuses fail for a reason
Your check engine light will come on and you will fail emissions.
Yes, but you will fail it. The check engine light indicates there is something wrong with the emissions controls on the vehicle. Seek professional help for diagnosis and repair.
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.
