* Certain vehicles 1996 and newer which have been determined to be OBDII incompatible will be tested using the two speed idle test. The exhaust standard of 100 ppm HC and 1.0% CO at idle and 2500 RPM will be used for these OBDII incompatible vehicles.
** Group code: C = Car, T = Truck/Van, LT = Light Truck, MT = Medium Truck
Anti-tampering: Motor vehicles subject to this Part shall be inspected for the presence and proper connections of original design features and components designed to reduce CO and HC exhaust emissions.
Gas Cap (pressurized): All vehicles subject to inspection must pass a pressurized gas cap test to check the integrity of the gas cap seal. OBDII compliant vehicles that are at least four years old will also have a gas cap test performed. A failed gas cap will result in the vehicle failing the inspection.
Note: These criteria will be reviewed by the Board annually pursuant to the Urban Implementation Plan for Albuquerque/Bernalillo County. Adjustments will be promulgated as appropriate. [10-19-82...9-23-94]
