Why Vehicles Fail Emissions Tests Emissions

It’s hard to say why any one vehicle fails an emissions test, but some common reasons are:

  • Check engine light
    This is an immediate fail because almost any engine error can directly affect emissions. We have diagnostics that can reveal the problem’s source.
  • Dirty air filter
    A dirty air filter prevents the combustion chamber from getting enough air, which results in too much carbon being released in the exhaust. Replacing the air filter usually solves the problem.
  • Gas cap
    A missing or leaking gas cap can cause a vehicle to fail the emissions test. Replacing the gas cap can affect the vehicle’s emissions control capability and may increase its tailpipe emissions.
  • Spark plugs
    If the spark plugs are excessively worn, the car may still fail emissions inspection.
  • Faulty exhaust system
    A faulty exhaust system cannot convert toxic chemicals into less toxic fumes.
  • Catalytic converter failure
    If you have an issue with your catalytic converter and don’t get it repaired, your vehicle will not pass an emissions test.
  • Rich fuel mixture
    A rich fuel mixture can be caused by a leaky injector, high fuel pressure or an oxygen sensor that has been contaminated.
  • Overdue oil change
    Skipping oil changes can result in failing marks during an emissions test.

Upon completing the emissions test, the facility will provide you with a VIR, or Vehicle Inspection Report that outlines the details of your test. It will show what failed during the emissions test, which will help your auto repair technician determine the cause. Typically, minor repairs are all that’s necessary to help a vehicle pass emissions.

Once the problem is determined, we will make trusted recommendations and provide quality services to ensure your vehicle complies with state and local ordinances to pass emissions testing.
