HOW TO GET CAR READY FOR SMOG CHECK?

How do you know when obd2 is ready?
On-board Diagnostics (OBD) is a system used in motor vehicles that are equipped with on-board computers to detect and store data related to vehicle maintenance.
To determine when OBD2 is ready, there are two types of monitors; continuous and non-continuous. Continuous monitors check for misfires, fuel systems, and comprehensive components in real time. Non-continuous monitors evaluate things like catalyst efficiency, evaporative systems, secondary air system checks, oxygen sensor heater performance and exhaust gas recirculation/variable valve timing system tests among others.
All these measures will help detect any abnormalities or any faults with the engine that can be corrected before it becomes a more costly problem.
You'll need to use a scan tool or a OBD Code reader to access the readiness monitor status to determine in any monitors are incomplete meaning they haven't been tested by the computer, thus remains incomplete.

Do you know if having a problem on your break booster will make you fail the smog test ?

[@tonydanger9696]

I don't think so, two separate issues. Smog is "Emitions"

[@tonydanger9696]

But you definitely have to fix that!

Hi

[@shelbyhaiketic4212]

If I buy a 2018 car from a used car dealer that already passed smog 30 days ago, when is the next time I need a smog check ? Is it after the 90 days has passed, or 2 years later ?

[@chuy1674]

It's each two years at that time you will receive a notice from DMV if you still own that car.

What if you don’t have a scan tool 😢

Amazon.
Thanks to the great state of California we all get to be mechanics now. Yay!

[@gredystar8333]

Autozone will probably let you borrow a scanner or they can scan your car for you if you ask.
