Q
how long after resetting check engine light before inspection
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
After resetting your check engine light, it's essential to wait before going for a vehicle inspection. Typically, this period is about 100 miles or a few days of driving. This time allows the car's onboard diagnostics system to rerun checks and ensure all issues are genuinely resolved. A premature inspection might result in a failed emissions test because the vehicle's computer has not had enough time to complete its internal tests, known as "readiness monitors." These monitors assess the car's emission system during normal driving conditions. If the monitors have not had sufficient time to reevaluate the system's status, the inspection station's equipment might not be able to communicate effectively with your vehicle's computer, leading to a rejection. Therefore, driving a bit after a reset provides the computer the necessary cycles to verify that repairs have indeed addressed the underlying issue. Always consult with a professional technician if you're uncertain about your vehicle's readiness for inspection.
