[QUOTE="04yfzkid, post: 14782172, member: 108463"] I work part time at a smog shop (not as a technician). I feel like I'm fighting against myself lol. As of Mar 9th all vehicles are required to get the dad inspection. They started using it back in august of 2014, but up until mar 9 2015 you could still put anything 2000 or new on the rollers. Anything 2000 or newer is allowed to have 1 monitor not ready. Anything 1999 and older is allowed to have 2 monitors not ready. Only the 1999 and older get a gas cap test. 1995 and older get an evap test where the line going to the charcoal canister from the tank gets pinched and the gas tank is pressurized. If the machine says it's leaking you fail. The dad system reads the VIN off the computer so tricking it is difficult. Having a tuner disable monitors (ie EGR, catylist, ect) will still show up and fail you. I haven't had anyone tell us the truth yet so I'm not sure if it comes up as NOT READY, or TAMPERED. Any other questions I'll try to answer or look up if you guys have questions. ALSO: A lot of cities in California do not require smog ;-) [/QUOTE]
