# 1 1 2 

# Why emissions waivers? • Federal EPA allows waivers to avoid creating

undue hardship for motorists who cannot afford to repair the vehicle to pass emissions. • Waivers should not be used routinely and should

only be done when specific conditions are met. • Strictly monitored by EPA and NYSDEC as well

as DMV.

3 

# What do the regulations say?

79.25 – Emissions waivers • A waiver may be offered, if the following conditions are met: 1. Vehicle has failed emissions inspection 2. Safety Inspection has been passed 3. All Emissions Control Devices have passed 4. At least $450 of emissions repairs have been made 5. Vehicle still fails emissions inspection

4 

# Regulations – cont. • Repairs must address the reason for

failure • DMV has the right to look at the vehicle to

verify repairs • All documents must be kept by the

inspection station for two years • The waiver form must be signed by both

the motorist and the inspector

5 

# When is it appropriate to issue an emissions waiver? • Only issued on a re-inspection. (Must have

passed the ECD and safety portion). • Only repairs performed after initial emissions

failure qualify for waiver. • Cost of emissions repairs must be $450 or more

(cumulative). • Repairs must address cause of emissions

failure.
6 

# What Does Not Qualify • Warranty repairs or replacement of missing ECD

items do not qualify. • Dealer vehicles are NOT eligible. Repairs on a

vehicle being sold by a dealer are not eligible for a waiver. (Used car vehicle certification requires that the vehicle be repaired) • Repairs done to restore tampered components

to OEM condition are ineligible.

# 2 7 

# Which repairs are eligible? • Labor, parts, and taxes for repairs performed to

address the source of the emissions failure which follow acknowledged industry diagnostic procedures are allowable when performed by a registered repair shop • The above includes the diagnosis and repair of

DTC’s (Diagnostic Trouble Codes), monitor readiness problems, or gas readings above the allowable limits.

8 

# Eligibility (continued.) • All diagnosis and repairs must be

DOCUMENTED and must explain why the repair was performed. • It’s not enough to say that spark plugs

were replaced – WHY were they replaced? Was there a skip or a DTC that indicated need for plugs?

9 

# Eligibility (continued) Self repairs • Emission repairs done by the vehicle owner (self

repairs) that can be verified with legitimate parts bills and by visually inspecting the vehicle • Labor does not count- only the cost of the parts.

Copies or original parts bills must be supplied by the vehicle owner and kept on file for at least 2 years with the waiver form. The repairs must address the cause of the emissions failure

10 

# Verification of self repairs • Where possible a visual inspection of the

components that were replaced by the vehicle owner should be done. • No disassembly of the vehicle should be done. • Parts bills should be authentic and have an

adequate description of the parts. Observe the dates on invoices. Copies are acceptable.

11 

# Warranty Repairs • In cases where the vehicle fails emissions

and qualifies for coverage under the manufacturer’s warranty, the motorist should be directed back to the dealer. • Repairs done under the manufacturer’s

warranty do not count toward the waiver total. (No money was spent.)

12 

# Can a waiver beissued for a

monitor readiness failure? • Why did the vehicle fail emissions during first inspection?

(Monitors vs. DTCs). Can the vehicle be driven so that monitors will run to completion and a waiver avoided? • What repairs were done before monitor readiness failure

on re-inspection ? Was the PCM replaced or re-flashed? Was any electrical work performed or sensors replaced? • Were reasonable diagnostic and repair procedures

followed? • Is the documentation adequate for the work performed?

# 3 13 

# Why You Should Not Pre-scan • If a NYSI is requested, the vehicle should be

inspected prior to any repair work so that the rejection is recorded! • Checking the vehicle and doing repairs before

the vehicle has failed emissions results in repairs which do not count toward a waiver
.

• Pre-scanning is discouraged! Inspect first!!

14 

# Entering Repair Information • Limited to emissions repairs that address

the reason for the failure. • Select the actual component or adjustment

from the menus. Use “other” only when component or adjustment is not listed.

15 

# Repair item Main Menu choices • When entering emissions repair information into

the NYVIP analyzer choosing a Main Menu item opens a submenu. • Main Menu choices include:

Emissions System, Ignition System, Electronic, Sensors, Fuel Metering, Fuel Supply, Air Supply, Engine Mechanical, Engine Exhaust, Engine Cooling, Vehicle Fluids, Trans/Final Drive.

16 

# Sub - Menu choices • Submenus allow the selection of a specific

component/ adjustment. • For example, the Main Menu choice for

Emissions System has a submenu which includes: Catalytic Converter, Fuel Evaporative System, EGR, Air Injection System, PCV, Variable Timing Control (VTC).

17 

# Entry of Repair information and Costs (Continued) • Enter only full dollar amounts for repair

costs ($484, $629, etc., no decimals) • Entries must be accurate. • Do not assume any entry will be

accepted. Only emissions repairs count.

18 

# Waiver Certification form

# 4 19 

# Emissions waiver review • Do the repairs address the reason for the

failure and do they follow industry acknowledged diagnostic and repair procedures? • Are inspection records being retained for

at least 2 years and easily obtainable? DMV staff will inspect them during audits. Under the law, DMV has the authority to call in the vehicle to verify repairs. 20 

# Waiver review (cont.) • Is all paperwork documenting the waiver

completed and attached together including: - waiver certification form (signed by both the motorist and the certified inspector) - repair invoices (Adequate description of parts, labor, and diagnostics) - are parts bills available to verify repairs?
