How to Make Sure Your Vehicle Will Pass Emissions

Before you take your vehicle in to emissions it’s a good idea to take it to your mechanic to perform an emissions inspection to determine if it will pass. Here are some other things you can do to make sure you pass emissions:

  • Fill up your car with fresh fuel. Your tank needs to be at least ½ full
  • Get your oil changed (dirty or deteriorated oil can cause higher emissions)
  • Get a tune-up (fresh spark plugs, proper timing, proper RPM) and if applicable, plug wires and vacuum leaks
  • Make sure your vehicle is at the proper operating temperature according to the temperature indicator on your dashboard
  • Make sure the “check engine” light is OFF

Check your vehicle registration renewal form to determine if your vehicle needs to be tested this year or look online at ServiceArizona.com.

Vehicles with a Check Engine Light On Will Not Pass Arizona Emissions

If there is a problem with your emissions system your vehicle’s “Check Engine” light will illuminate. Your vehicle will not pass emissions when the check engine light is on. Bring your car in to us and we will do a complimentary check engine light scan.

All 1996 and newer light-duty vehicles sold in the United States are equipped with On-Board Diagnostic systems, known as OBD II. The primary purpose of these systems is to monitor and evaluate the vehicle’s emissions controls. Using this on-board evaluation, OBD helps to maintain low emissions levels and notifies the vehicle operator of problems before they become catastrophic failures.
