Emissions Inspection Shop

Emissions testing includes three checks:

• A check of your malfunction indicator lamp, which may also be referred to as the “check engine” light or “service engine soon” light.
• A check for proper operation of the malfunction indicator lamp status and diagnostics trouble codes. 
• A check of the OBDII readiness monitors.

If you have an older car or truck, emissions will be measured directly from the tailpipe while your vehicle is idling at both high and low speeds. A number of parts and systems can be involved if your vehicle fails to pass emissions tests. These may include:

• Failure of the catalytic converter
• A faulty gas cap
• Fuel metering that is out of specifications
• Incorrect ignition timing
• An inoperative injection system or thermostatic air cleaner
• Misrouted vacuum lines
• A faulty positive crankcase ventilation system or exhaust gas recirculation system

When you bring your vehicle to your nearest Driver's Edge location, our mechanics can determine any reasons for test failure and recommend and make the repairs or adjustments that may be needed.
