Whether you can pass inspection with a check engine light on depends largely on your location and the type of inspection being conducted. In many areas, especially in the United States, a vehicle will not pass an emissions test if the check engine light is on. This light indicates that there is an issue with the vehicle's emissions system or another component that could affect its emissions output. Inspectors will connect your vehicle to a diagnostic tool that reads the OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostics) system codes to identify the problem. If your check engine light is on due to an emissions-related issue, it's very likely your vehicle will fail the inspection. However, some states might have different criteria for vehicle inspections that focus less on emissions and more on safety features, where a check engine light might not cause an immediate failure. Regardless, it's advisable to have your vehicle checked and the issue resolved before attempting to pass inspection, ensuring both environmental standards are met and potentially avoiding more significant vehicle problems down the line.

It depends on the state you live in, as regulations vary. However, in most states, a car with a check engine light on will not pass the state inspection. The check engine light signifies that there are one or more problems with the engine that need to be addressed. You should have the issue diagnosed and repaired before attempting to have the car inspected. In some cases, it might be something minor but ignoring the light can often lead to bigger and more expensive issues down the road.
