Why I love Oklahoma. No smog test, in fact no inspections….

As a smog tech 😂😂😂😂
My favorite is when someone says I would do anything to pass my smog check except !!!
Keep up Maintenance.
Service as recommended.
Repair when necessary.
By a licensed professional 😂😂

California is a big rip off, if you have not put over 5k miles since last smog it should be deffered at a smog station for like 5 bucks.

All that is really telling you is that the 8 monitors the smog test will look for are in the ready state. If they are not green then you must continue to drive the vehicle until the parameters of the drive cycle for said monitors has been met, otherwise you can’t complete the test. Now granted if your vehicle is a good running car and the monitors are in the ready state and you have no check engine light then chances are you will pass, but having the monitors all ready and showing green on the scanner is not a guarantee you will pass the test, and this information will only apply to 1996 and newer vehicles which are all OBD2. OBD1 is a different story and is tested entirely different then the OBD2 cars.

Most of my cars are old enough to avoid testing but when I do buy a new enough car I usually use a friends address in a neighboring county that is exempt. Screw big climate! It’s just a money grab

You still have the visual and functional test.

[brianvalerio]

How do we get the cat hrt and o2 to read green?? (06 crown Vic) any life hacks ?

[PC_Drive]

So they dont actually check the emissions?

[DankDill]

Do CA smog test places check for ECU tunes? I’ve been reading that they will only approve “CARB certified ECU tunes”

[sfGiantsboi]

What if you have headers and cat back exhaust?

Thank You for this video! How can drivers with brand new cars driven off the showroom parking lot get the car obd2 system "ready" to pass a Cali smog inspection, driven over 700 miles from a neighboring state? The vehicle had an Evap / Oxygen sensor fail issue on the inspection report. It was driven for another hour under 55 MPH & brought back for a 2nd failed test.

Moms car is 22 years old. 2001 Chevy Tahoe with a little over 87k miles. Didn’t pass smog test. Mechanic suggest drive it more often. EVAP keeps failing.

My car got gross polluter and i already fixed the problem with it but it just wont pass bc it’s an old carburetored car, got the carburetors rebuilt, took it to a smog person who works on carburetors and still couldn’t pass

[iJug]

[justmyopinion]

[mattporto]
