On-board Diagnostic System
OBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized
engine management system. It stores diag-
nostic information about your vehicle's emis-
sion controls. It can light the Check Engine
light (MIL) if it detects an emission control
"fault." A "fault" is a component or system
that is not performing within an expected
range. A fault may be permanent or temporary.
OBD II will store a message about any fault.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Emission inspection readiness
How do states use OBD II for emission
inspections?
Many states connect a computer directly to a
vehicle's OBD II system. The inspector can
then read "faults." In some states, this type of
inspection has replaced the tailpipe emission
test.
How can my vehicle fail OBD II emission
inspection?
Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspec-
tion for any of the following reasons:
If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit, your
•
vehicle may fail inspection.
If your vehicle's Check Engine light was lit,
•
but went out without any action on your
part, OBD II will still have a recorded fault.
Your vehicle may pass or fail, depending
on the inspection practices in your area.
If you had recent service that required dis-
•
connecting the battery, OBD II diagnostic
information may be incomplete and "not
ready" for inspection. A vehicle that is not
ready may fail inspection.
