Q
can a car with check engine light pass inspection
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Whether a car with a check engine light (CEL) on can pass inspection largely depends on the laws and regulations of the area where the inspection is conducted. Typically, the CEL being activated indicates an issue with the vehicle's emissions system or other components that could affect its environmental impact. In many regions, especially those with stringent emissions testing protocols like California or New York, a car with an illuminated check engine light will almost certainly fail the inspection. This is because the light signals a malfunction that could lead to excessive emissions, directly contrary to the purpose of the inspection. However, there might be exceptions or different criteria in areas where emissions testing is not part of the inspection process. Nonetheless, irrespective of local laws, it's recommended to diagnose and address any issues indicated by the CEL before undergoing inspection. Not only does this increase the likelihood of passing, but it also contributes to the vehicle's maintenance, performance, and environmental friendliness.
