THE GUARDIAN recently learned vehicle emission testing is causing vehicle owners headaches and costing them a lot of money with FALSE DATA and FAILURES to pass the test.
Here is the first incident reported to THE GUARDIAN. If you get your battery replaced and go in for a smog check before your vehicle's computer resets, you will likely fail to pass the emissions check. You need to leave all your electrical accessories off for at least 50 miles of driving until the on board computer resets itself.
The incident reported cost the vehicle owner an additional $50.00 and a day of lost use while the car got yet another check from a mechanic. The mechanic and his equipment could find nothing wrong with the car in question. He was aware of what a battery change can do and related this to the vehicle owner. The vehicle was returned for yet another check and it passed with no actual repairs done.
Lesson here is, if you have your battery replaced, leave the radio/CD player/GPS off for a few days until the computer resets or face a rejection at the testing station. $50 spent just to find this out points out the OBDC check system will give some owners headaches for no good reason.
