If your dashboard is displaying a “Check Engine” light when it’s time for your ADEQ emissions test, your vehicle will generally not pass the inspection. Your registration deadline doesn’t wait, so identifying and repairing the underlying problem as soon as possible can help you avoid additional delays.
Common Emissions Problems & Warning Signs
A check engine light is just one reason a vehicle may fail an emissions test. Other emissions-related problems can involve the fuel system, oxygen sensors, catalytic converter, evaporative emissions system, exhaust system, or other engine-management components.
Common signs of a potential emissions or engine-management problem include:
- Check engine light
- Failed or pending emissions test
- Rough or uneven engine performance
- Reduced fuel economy
- Difficulty starting the vehicle
- Engine hesitation or loss of power
- Unusual exhaust odors
- Increased or unusual exhaust smoke
- Emissions-related diagnostic trouble codes
- Problems with the catalytic converter, oxygen sensors, or evaporative emissions system
