# In an attempt to make these notations easier for agencies to enter into their databases, JCAR is going to try 

# out sending a mark-up of the 1st 

# Notice version instead of a description of the change. If this does not prove to be easier for you, please call Rita Messinger at 5-22

. 54 by the end of June to express your preference for the old system, or if you have any suggestions of ways to make a mark-up more helpful. If a sufficient number of agencies express a preference for the status quo, we will
return to the line numbered description of the change in July.

On this mark-up, any word or punctuation that bas been altered will be highlighted. You will need to compare this to your hard copy or your database to determine how the original text read. I f a white space 1s highlighted, you will know that text has been omitted at that location.

As always, if you would like an adopted rulemaking on disk for purposes of upload, contact Terra Lamb at 5-2254.

# Steady-State Idle Exhaust Test To prevent excess dilution in a steady-state idle exhaust emissions test described in Section 276.204, the sample

. probe shall be inserted a m1n1mum of 10 inches into the vehicle's tailpipe. Extension boots shall be utilized if it is impossible
to insert the sample probe at least 10 inches into the tailpipe. A vehicle emission test shall be invalid if the applicable emission standards contained in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 240 are met but the sum of the CO and C0[2) concentrations in the exhaust gas does
not exceed 6 percent during the sample averaging period(s). Q1 

# Transient Loaded Mode Exhaust Test To prevent excess dilution in a transient loaded mode exhaust emissions test described in Section 276.207, the exhaust collection system shall be positioned to insure complete capture of the entire exhaust stream from the tailpipe during the transient driving cycle. The test system shall verify that the entire exhaust stream is being collected through continuous monitoring of exhaust C0[2] generated during the transient driving cycle and comparison with theoretical levels of exhaust C0[2) produced by the vehicle being tested. A vehicle emission test shall be invalid if the measured values fall below expected values during the transient driving cycle. At a m1n1mum, the emission
test shall be invalid if five consecutive one-second average C0[21 values fall below 0.085 percent during seconds 5 through 220 of the transient driving cycle.

measurement using a constant volume sampler while the vehicle is driven through a computer-monitored driving cycle on a dynamometer with inertia weight settings appropriate for the weight of the vehicle. The driving cycle shall include acceleration, deceleration, and idle operating modes as specified in subsection (e)(l) of this Section. The 240-second sequence may be ended earlier using fast pass algorithms. 2) The emission standards and dynamometer inertia and power absorption settings shall be automatically selected for the vehicle being tested based upon the identification and validation of the following, as needed:

A) Vehicle type: LDV, LDTl, LDT2, and others as needed; B) GVWR; 

# C) Chassis model year; D) Make; E) Model; 

# F) Number of cylinders; G) Transmission type; H) 

# LVW or ALVW; and I) Engine displacement. Alternative computerized methods of selecting dynamometer
test conditions, such as VIN decoding, may be used. 3) The ambient temperature, absolute humidity, and barometric pressure shall be recorded continuously during the transient test, or as a single set of readings if taken less than 4 minutes prior to the transient driving cycle. 4) If the vehicle is shut off, the vehicle shall be restarted as
soon as possible before the test and shall be running for at least 30 seconds prior to the transient driving cycle begins. 5) If a vehicle stalls during a transient test, the test shall be aborted and restarted. If after 3 

# attempts the test cannot be completed, the vehicle shall be rejected. b) Pre-inspection and Preparation 1) Initial tests (i.e., those occurring for the first time in a vehicle's scheduled test cycle) shall be performed without repair or adjustment at the inspection facility prior to the test. 2) A test, once initiated, shall be performed in its entirety regardless of intermediate outcomes, except in the case of invalid test conditions or unsafe conditions. 3) Tests involving measurement shall be performed with Agency-approved equipment that is operated in accordance with the procedures contained · in 40 CFR 85.2234 (Draft), incorporated by reference in Section 276.104(a) of this Part. 4) All accessories (air conditioning, heat, defogger, radio, automatic traction control if switchable, etc.) shall be turned off (if necessary, by the inspector). 5) The vehicle shall be inspected for exhaust leaks. Audio
assessment while blocking exhaust flow or gas measurement of C0[2] or other gases shall be acceptable. Vehicles with 801 803 804 805 806

If the temperature gauge indicates that the engine is well below normal operating temperature, the vehicle shall receive a second-chance emission test if it fails the initial test for HC or CO. Vehicles in overheated condition shall be rejected from testing. 8) Vehicles shall be rejected from testing if drive axle tires: A) exhibit visible cords, belts, bubbles, cuts, or other damage, or B) are space-saver spare tires, or C) are not reasonably sized tires. 9) Vehicles' drive axle tires shall be inspected for proper inflation. If one or more of these tires appears low, it shall be inflated to approximately 30 psi, or to tire sidewall pressure, or manufacturer's recommendation. 10) Drive axle tires of vehicles subject to additional testing for the purpose of program evaluation under 40 CFR 51.353, incorporated by reference in Section 276.104(d) of this Part, shall have their tires inflated to tire sidewall pressure. 11) Background concentrations of HC, CO, NO[x], and C0[2] shall be sampled as specified in 40 CFR 85.2226(b)(2)(iv) (Draft), incorporated by reference in Section 276.104(a) of this Part, to determine background concentration of dilution air. The sample shall be taken for a minimum of 15 seconds within 120 seconds after the start of the transient driving cycle,. using the same analyzers used to measure tailpipe emissions. Average readings over the 15 seconds for each gas shall be recorded in the test record. Testing shall be prevented until the average ambient background levels are less than 20 ppmC HC, 35 ppm CO, and 2 ppm NO[x] (when applicable), or outside ambient air levels (not influenced by station exhaust), whichever are greater. 12) While a lane is in operation, the CVS shall continuously purge the CVS hose between tests. The blower may be turned off if the CVS is not in operation, but the system shall be purged for 2 minutes prior to the start of a test if the blower has been turned off. The off time shall be computer
mon itored and recorded to a history file for quality

assurance. c) Equipment Positioning and Settings Vehicle positioning and settings sh all be conducted according to the method specified in 40 CFR 85.222l(c) (Draft), incorporated by reference in Section 276.104(a) of this Part, with the following exceptions:

Gear shifts shall occur at the points in the driving cycle 1009 where the specified speeds are obtained. For vehicles with 1010 fewer than 6 forward gears, the same schedule shall be lOll followed with shifts above the highest gear disregarded. 1012 Speed excursion limits shall apply as follows: 1014

A) The upper limit is 2 mph higher than the highest point 1016

on the trace within 1 second of the given time. 1017 B) The lower limit is 2 mph lower than the lowest point on 1019 the trace within 1 second of the given time. 1020 C) Speed variations greater than the tolerances (such as 1022 may occur during gear changes) are acceptable provided 1023 that they occur for no more than 2 seconds on any 1024 occasion. D) 

# Speeds lower than those prescribed during the underpowered intervals of seconds 4 through 18, 97 through 115, and 154 through 219 of the trace will allow the station supervisory personnel the option of overriding the automatic void of the test. As part of the override, the station supervisory personnel will be required to witness a second trace.**s~~~ds-%ow~r-than thos~-~r~ser±b~d--d~r±ng--aee~%~rat±ons--ar~--aee~~tab%~**

# The test shall be aborted and immediately restarted if 1059 speed excursion limits are exceeded, except as described 1061 in subsection (e)(4)(D) of this Section. 1062 Speed Variation Limits 1064 The speed variation limits shall be determined by one of the 1066 following methods: 1067

A) 

# Linear Regression Method 1069 i) 

# A linear regression of feedback value on reference 1071 value shall be performed on each transient driving 1072 cycle for each speed using the method of least 1073 squares, with the best fit equation having the form: y 

# = mx +

N X 

# PKE =+ 

# SUM PPltl / INT x dx t=O 0



# where: PP[t]

# 3082 mi/hr(2} 1141 iii) A transient driving cycle that ends before the 1143 full 240 seconds with a PKE value that is below 1144 the lower second-by-second PKE limit for passing vehicles or above the upper second-by-second PKE 1145 limit for failing vehicles shall be void and the 1146
test shall be repeated. The second-by-second upper and lower PKE limits are specified in Section 1147 276.Table B. iv) PKE values shall not be used to make early pass/fail determination. The actual distance traveled for the transient driving cycle shall be measured. If the absolute difference between the measured distance and the theoretical distance for the actual
test exceeds 0.05 miles, the test shall be void and shall be repeated. The vehicle shall be rejected if, during the course of the transient loaded mode test, station supervisory personnel verify that the test cannot be completed due to the mechanical condition of the vehicle. Inertia Weight Selection Operation of the inertia weight selected for the vehicle shall be verified as specified in Section 276.506(a) of this Part. For systems employing electrical inertia simulation,

an algorithm identifying the actual inertia force applied during the transient driving cycle shall be used to determined proper inertia simulation. The CVS operation shall be verified for each test for a CFV-type CVS by measuring either the absolute**p~essure** 

# difference across the venturi or measuring the blower vacuum behind the venturi for minimum levels needed to maintain choke flow for the venturi design. The operation of an SSV-type CVS shall be verified throughout the test by monitoring the difference in pressure between upstream and throat pressure. The minimum values shall be determined from system calibrations. Monitored pressure differences below the minimum values shall void the test, and a test lane system lockout shall be initiated. No further testing shall 1149
