Test Procedures

Tests for Vehicles 1996 and Newer

Newer vehicles are tested using technology that uses the vehicle's OBD (on-board diagnostics) computer system to diagnose operations of emissions control systems. The new test will help ensure that today's newer, low emissions vehicles with their advanced computerized emissions controls continue to run clean and efficiently.

The OBD test is quick and easy. The inspector connects your on-board computer, which continuously monitors the engine and emissions controls, to the inspection computer and downloads the data. The results are printed on the Vehicle Inspection Report (VIR) that you receive at the end of the test.
