You don't, the light has to be repaired.
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.
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.
That is the check engine light.
A flashing check engine light is an indication of an engine misfire.

No, I just took my 2003 caravan in today (9/28/09) and it failed (NC inspection also). Good luck!
A Dodge Ram will have a check engine light appear when the engine needs to be serviced. You can reset this light by following the directions in your manual or by having your mechanic do it.
Whether or not a car will pass inspection with the Check Engine light on is up to the state or county giving the test. As long as the car passes an emissions test, it should be fine.
