You can go to most auto parts stores AutoZone advance Auto Napa and they will read the codes but before you do that disconnect the battery cables and clear the codes that are already set so the check engine light shuts off then drive around 15 miles or so to give the computer enough time to set new codes when the check engine light comes on after the 15 miles now go for the code scan and any codes will be new and it's easier to find your problem and no old codes will be present which might've been fixed already but the keep alive memory is still storing the old codes also you will never pass inspection with the check engine light on and don't think you can pass inspection with the light off after clearing the codes there are monitors for the ecm that have to do there self check before the system is inspection ready and if they are not ready you will fail the inspection and still have to pay it can take as much as 80 miles driving or more and the gas tank should be between 1/4 & 3/4 full for the evap monitor to clear the self test in some cases it will take a few days for that monitor to clear the self test and the car will be ready for inspection the evap test is the last monitor to clear the self test and until it does you will not pass inspection you can look up the drive cycle info for the sequence to follow after all repairs are completed and a code 1000 is present telling the inspection computer that your car is system ready otherwise you will keep paying the fees and failing the test good luck this is the right info here I'm a taxi mechanic in NYC with 50+years of experience and you can count on what you are reading as the most important information you can get about this for you and anybody else who reads this thread this is 1 million percent correct and authentic good luck again Stephen
Did you recently clear the trouble codes or disconnect the battery? Once all codes are cleared, the computer will not display systems 'ready' until they go through an evaluation cycle. Some of the systems require a certain number of drive cycles before they will display 'ready'. A drive cycle is usually starting the engine from a cold start (based on coolant temperature) and driving until certain conditions are met. I don't know what the requirements are for your car, but my 2003 pickup truck requires more than 10 drive cycles before it will make the O2 sensors and evaporative emissions 'ready'. Most states only require that a certain number of systems are showing 'ready' to pass emissions certification.
drive it. I am betting you have recently "cleared" codes which also clears readiness monitors in an attempt to better control people cheating the system. After enough drive cycles are reached the monitors will pass if nothing is wrong and turn to ready. If the problem that the codes implicated where not fixed than the check engine light will again come back on and you will again fail your attempt to pass emissions.
In general terms, the car has to be driven for 50 - 100 miles in various conditions to allow the engine computer to check emissions.
The distance can be in one trip or several, but the engine must be at operating temp and speeds include both city and highway.
if the check engine light is on it will not pass, the airbag light will not make you fail but if the engine light is on it will not pass an emissions test.
Hi..my name is Keith..and to answer your question..No..it will not pass the emissions..it will probably pass the test..but they will fail your car because the light is on..so i would go to an autoparts store..and they can clear the check engine light for you for free..and then take it to the inspection station..i hope this has helped
the light is an emissions code in there sometimes its a oxygen sensor or the egr valve gets clogged in hondas...you need to retrieve the code to narrow the problem down
O2 senser usually fail.
anything else fail??? did the inspectionstation tell you what need to be done to pass.??
do you have the print out of the inspection????
any machanic should be able to fix what ever the problem is.
