NYS inspection?
Ge 26 April 2005 03:52:58
	I've been hearing horror stories about the new (in our area, anyway) NYS inspection program. It sounds like, if certain "diagnostic trouble codes" are in the computer's memory, you fail until either (a) you get them cleared, or (b) you spend $500. I'd like to have a better idea of what I'm up against before going in for the test - stuff like, which codes are grounds for failure, what's required to clear them ("drive cycles"), stuff like that. I can get a scan tool. Is there a book or a URL that gives details? (My inspection isn't till August, so I have a little time to get ready.) TIA, George

	I am a NYS inspector for the new program, if the check engine lite is on, don't even take it in, it will fail immediately, second when connected to the DMV system from your PCM, it checks the readiness of the various emissions monitors, base on what year and what kind of vehicle a minimum number of these monitors must be in the ready/active state. If the car has had the battery disconnected or codes cleared/repaired a drive cycle must be completed to reactivate the monitors, usually a day or two of mixed driving rreaching at least 55 and other conditions must be met or once again it will fail. It is not that big an issue for a properly maintained vehicle with no on going issues with check engine lites. Are you having any related problems now, let me know specifically what your immediate concerns are. We charge 24.95 to pre scan a vehicle for problems or just general diagnosis.Dealers get at least double. History or pending codes do not generate a failed inspection.

	Good info TeGGeR, NY has no pre inspection procedure, a customer could request this, but he might as well spend 21 to have it inspected, problem is if it fails you get a 10 day extension if the sticker has expired. Or the remaining time left on the sticker.

	Lets say a customer is worried he won't pass or he wants it scanned for a check engine lite we do our own scan not related to the dmv system, oour own test results are for info only, no time issue, once we hook it to the dmv system and it passes, it is good for 1 year.

I can get a> scan tool. Is there a book or a URL that gives details?> -- I copied the following from the Arizona emissions testing web page. I would assume that most states OBD emissions tests would be pretty similar in order to comply with whatever federal guidelines they have to comply with. Simplified, I think it says: - Make sure the Check Engine Light is working. - Make sure the OBD connector has not been tampered with. - Readiness monitor check (not sure what this means, but I think maybe it means you have to have driven enough "drive cycles" since the codes were last cleared to have the opportunity to set emissions codes?). - Make sure Check Engine Light is being commanded OFF (no emissions- related codes). All of the above is just a guess - I write software for a living. Copied text follows ------------------- C. Onboard Diagnostic (OBD) Test: The OBD test interrogates the vehicle's computer system to determine emissions compliance and does not include exhaust sampling. The test consists of verifying the operation of the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL); confirming that the appropriate readiness monitors are set; visually inspecting the diagnostic link connector (DLC); determining if the MIL is commanded ?ON?; recording diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). The process is as follows: 1. Turn the ignition to ?Key On Engine Off? (KOEO) and observe the MIL; the MIL must be lit. This portion of the test verifies MIL operation and is commonly known as the bulb check. On = pass, Proceed to Step 2; Off = fail, perform necessary repairs and reinspect. 2. Locate DLC and inspect for tampering (missing, loose, or damaged). If the vehicle fails the DLC tampering inspection, do not proceed, perform repairs as needed. Passing DLC, proceed to Step 3. 3. Connect approved scan tool to DLC. Turn ignition to ?Key On Engine Running? (KOER) and observe the MIL. The MIL should light and then go out during this phase. If the MIL stays on; the vehicle fails, perform repairs and re-inspect. If the MIL stays off the vehicle is a pass. Proceed to Step 4. 4. With the scan tool in the generic OBD mode, follow the scan tool manufacturer's instructions to determine the following: - Readiness Monitor Status: 1996 through 2000 model year vehicles are allowed two or fewer unset readiness monitors for a valid test. 2001 and newer model year vehicles are allowed one or less unset readiness monitors for a valid test. If monitor requirements are not met, the vehicle must be driven through a drive cycle until required monitors are set. - Observe the MIL status command to determine if the vehicle computer is commanding the MIL to be on or off. MIL commanded off = pass, Proceed to Step 5. MIL commanded on = fail, repair and re-inspect. 5. Perform the functional gas cap test as explained in Section V ?Fleet Test Procedures (F). 6. After the vehicle passes all steps of the OBD and functional gas cap inspection, record information on Fleet Vehicle Inspection Report/Monthly Summary and complete the Certificate of Inspection. -- Jerry Maple General Dynamics C4 Systems Scottsdale, AZ
