													 chapter (relating to Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance; Low Income Vehicle Repair Assistance, Retrofit, and
													 Accelerated Vehicle Retirement Program; and Early Action Compact Counties), have the following meanings,
													 unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
(1) Acceleration
											  simulation mode (ASM-2) test--An emissions test using a dynamometer (a set of rollers on which a test
											  vehicle's tires rest) that applies an increasing load or resistance to the drive train of a vehicle, thereby
											  simulating actual tailpipe emissions of a vehicle as it is moving and accelerating. The ASM-2 vehicle
											  emissions test is comprised of two phases:
(A) the 50/15 mode--in which the
											  vehicle is tested for 90 seconds upon reaching and maintaining a constant speed of 15 miles per hour (mph) on
											  a dynamometer that simulates acceleration at a rate of 3.3 mph per second by using 50% of the vehicle
											  available horsepower; and
(B) the 25/25 mode--in which the
											  vehicle is tested for 90 seconds upon reaching and maintaining a constant speed of 25 mph on a dynamometer
											  that simulates acceleration at a rate of 3.3 mph per second by using 25% of the vehicle available
											  horsepower.
