There are several components that are tested during a vehicle inspection and any one of these requires its own inspection procedure. For example, when inspecting a beam indicator (the light indicator on your dash that tells you when your high beams are on) in vehicles registered after 1/1/48, a competent technician will inspect for the beam indicator to be present, working properly, and not producing a glare for the driver. If it fails any of these, a repair will be necessary in order to pass this portion of the inspection.
If your vehicle fails the OBD II (on-board diagnostic) test used to check your vehicle’s emissions, there can be any one of several causes including a catalytic converter failure or even just a faulty gas cap. Our certified technicians will diagnose the exact cause and recommend the fix to ensure your vehicle gets back in compliance.
