Current through June 11, 2024
1. An inspector shall comply with the
				  following procedure when testing a light-duty motor vehicle that is powered by
				  a diesel engine or a heavy-duty motor vehicle that is powered by a diesel
				  engine and has a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating which does not
				  exceed 14,000 pounds:
(a) The test procedure
				  must include, without limitation, a preparation phase, a tampering inspection
				  phase and an opacity test phase.
(b) In the preparation phase:
(1) The vehicle must be placed on a
				  dynamometer, the transmission must be placed in neutral and the vehicle must be
				  properly restrained to prevent any rolling motion.
(2) The inspector may place an auxiliary
				  cooling fan into position approximately 12 inches in front of the cooling
				  system of the motor vehicle.
(3)
				  The inspector shall then affix a smoke opacity meter which has been calibrated
				  and zeroed to the exhaust system of the vehicle according to the
				  recommendations of the manufacturer of the meter. Vehicles with dual exhaust
				  configurations must have the smoke opacity meter attached to the exhaust pipe
				  displaying the highest observed opacity.
(4) If an exhaust removal system is used, it
				  must be installed so that all of the exhaust from the vehicle being tested is
				  passed through the smoke opacity meter.
(c) In the tampering inspection phase, the
				  inspector shall visually inspect:
(1) All
				  vehicles with a model year of 1981 or newer to ensure that all equipment for
				  emission control which is listed on the manufacturer's emission label is
				  present and appears to be operational; and
(2) All vehicles to verify the presence of a
				  properly installed fuel cap that appears to seal properly to prevent the escape
				  of fumes and liquid from the fuel tank.
(d) During the opacity test phase, the
				  inspector shall:
(1) Verify that the vehicle
				  is at normal operating temperature before beginning the test. If the vehicle
				  has cooled down below its normal operating temperature during its placement on
				  the dynamometer, it must be operated until its normal operating temperature is
				  reached.
(2) Test vehicles with
				  varying engine sizes under the following speed and load conditions:
Number of Cylinders
Speed (± 4 miles per hour)
Load (±
				  1 horsepower)
4
40
7.0
6
40
15.0
8
40
30.0
(3) Maintain the required speed and load
				  condition on the vehicle being tested for 10 seconds. The engine opacity must
				  be stored and printed at the end of the 10-second interval.

				  perform emission control system repairs on that particular vehicle or if the
				  vehicle is being removed from the authorized station before repairs have begun
				  or have been completed.
3. The
				  Department will make available a current list of authorized stations and an
				  emissions fact sheet to each authorized inspection station and authorized
				  station in this State by:

				  station to print from an exhaust gas analyzer connected to the state electronic
				  data transmission system; and
