					 the terms missing, modified and disconnected are defined as follows:
(a) Missing. A missing emissions control
				  system or component is one which has been removed from the vehicle or
				  engine.
(b) Modified. An emissions
				  control system is deemed to have been modified if:
(1) the system has been disabled, even though
				  it is present and properly connected to the engine and/or vehicle;
(2) an emissions related component of the
				  system has been replaced by a component not marketed by its manufacturer for

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Smog check inspection methods are prescribed in the Smog
					 Check Manual, referenced by section
					 3340.45.
(a) All vehicles subject to a smog check
				  inspection, shall receive one of the following test methods:
(1) A loaded-mode test shall be the test
				  method used to inspect 1976-1999 model-year vehicle, except diesel-powered,
				  registered in the enhanced program areas of the state. The loaded-mode test
				  shall measure hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and oxides of
				  nitrogen emissions, as contained in the bureau's specifications referenced in
				  subsection (a) of Section
				  3340.17 of this article. The
				  loaded-mode test shall use Acceleration Simulation Mode (ASM) test equipment,
				  including a chassis dynamometer, certified by the bureau.
On and after March 31, 2010, exhaust emissions from a
					 vehicle subject to this inspection shall be measured and compared to the
					 emissions standards shown in the Vehicle Look-up Table (VLT) Row Specific
					 Emissions Standards (Cutpoints) Table, dated March 2010, which is hereby
					 incorporated by reference. If the emissions standards for a specific vehicle
					 are not included in this table then the exhaust emissions shall be compared to
					 the emissions standards set forth in TABLE I or TABLE II, as applicable. A
					 vehicle passes the loaded-mode test if all of its measured emissions are less
					 than or equal to the applicable emission standards specified in the applicable
					 table.
(2) A two-speed idle
				  mode test shall be the test method used to inspect 1976-1999 model-year
				  vehicles, except diesel-powered, registered in all program areas of the state,
				  except in those areas of the state where the enhanced program has been
				  implemented. The two-speed idle mode test shall measure hydrocarbon, carbon
				  monoxide and carbon dioxide emissions at high RPM and again at idle RPM, as
				  contained in the bureau's specifications referenced in subsection (a) of
				  Section 3340.17 of this article. Exhaust
				  emissions from a vehicle subject to this inspection shall be measured and
				  compared to the emission standards set forth in this section and as shown in
				  TABLE III. A vehicle passes the two-speed idle mode test if all of its measured
				  emissions are less than or equal to the applicable emissions standards
				  specified in Table III.
(3) An
				  OBD-focused test, shall be the test method used to inspect gasoline-powered
				  vehicles 2000 model-year and newer, and diesel-powered vehicles 1998 model-year
				  and newer. The OBD test failure criteria are specified in section
				  3340.42.2.
