Q
will car pass emissions with check engine light on
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
A car with an active check engine light (CEL) is unlikely to pass emissions tests. The CEL indicates a malfunction related to the vehicle's emissions system or another engine issue that could affect emissions levels. Emissions tests check for compliance with emission standards by measuring the levels of various pollutants a vehicle emits. Common reasons for a CEL include malfunctioning oxygen sensors, issues with the catalytic converter, or fuel system problems, all of which can lead to increased emissions. Some jurisdictions may allow a vehicle to pass if the light is on due to a minor issue not related to emissions, but this is rare. Before attempting an emissions test, it's recommended to diagnose and resolve any issues triggering the CEL. A professional mechanic can run a diagnostic scan to identify the specific problem. Rectifying the issue not only increases the chances of passing emissions but also contributes to a more environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient vehicle.
