🗑
Northern Region Emissions Inspector   show
🗑
Certified Emissions Repair Technician   show
🗑
show A gasoline powered vehicle, 1975 and newer model year, having a GVWR of 9,000 pounds or less and registered in an I/M county.  
🗑
Vehicle Inspection Report (VIR)   show
🗑
show A failing vehicle is eligible for one free retest at the original station if it returns with 30 days of the initial test.  
🗑
Repair Data Form   show
🗑
show All emissions stickers must be secured under lock and key at all times.  
🗑
show If a sticker becomes unusable (torn, damaged, etc.) and cannot be affixed to the windshield the inspector must void the sticker and retain the unusable sticker.  
🗑
Windshield Replacement   show
🗑
Waiver   show
🗑
Tampered Systems   show
🗑
Referee Process   show
🗑
Gasoline   show
🗑
show Exhaust pollutant that is unburned fuel from incomplete combustion or a misfire.  
🗑
show Toxic exhaust pollutant formed when there isn't enough oxygen to support combustion.  
🗑
show Exhaust pollutant that is highly toxic and increases when combustion chamber temperatures exceed 2,500 deg. F.  
🗑
show Fuel ratio below 14.7:1 that represents an excess of gasoline and not enough oxygen.  
🗑
show Fuel ration above 14.7:1 that represents an excess of oxygen and not enough gasoline.  
🗑
show Ideal fuel mixture of 14.7 parts oxygen to 1 part fuel. (measured by weight)  
🗑
show Exhaust gas that is a good lean indicator.  
🗑
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)   show
🗑
show Precombustion emissions control that allows a small amount of exhaust gas mix with the air/fuel entering the combustion chamber to reduce the volatility of the mixture and reduce NOx production.  
🗑
show Valve location on top of the engine for the purpose of regulating the flow of blow-by gases being removed from the crankcase.  
🗑
Evaporative Control System (EVAP)   show
🗑
show Valve located in the gas cap that is designed to open and fresh air to enter the fuel tank to relieve vacuum that might build up during cooling down periods.  
🗑
show A valve found in the fuel cap that is designed to relieve pressure that may develop in the fuel tank. If pressure gets to be excessive, this valve opens to lower internal tank pressure.  
🗑
Air Injection Reaction (AIR)   show
🗑
Non-Pump (Pulse Air) System   show
🗑
show Valve used to control the flow of exhaust gas back into the intake and can be controlled by either vacuum, pulse-width modulation or other electronic controls.  
🗑
show Located in the exhaust stream, it uses the heat from combustion, unburned fuel, and air in the exhaust stream to convert the pollutants into environmentally acceptable non-pollutants.  
🗑
show Temperature around 500°F when a catalytic convertor begins to work.  
🗑
Oxidation Converter   show
🗑
show Catalytic converter that reduces NOx emissions by reducing them back into their main components of N2 and O2.  
🗑

🗑
show Snapshot of important operating parameters recorded at the time of a fault as required by OBD II standards.  
🗑
Fuel Inlet Restrictor   show
🗑
Fuel Trim   show
🗑
show On-board computer responsible for control fuel system controls and engine performance.  
🗑
show Indicator light illuminated when an emissions related fault occurs that increases pollution 150% the limit.  
🗑
show Warning to indicate a sever misfire that can cause Catalytic Converter damage.  
🗑
Misfire   show
🗑
show Onboard diagnostic test that is executed by the PCM.

Oxygen Sensor   show
🗑
Readiness Status   show
🗑
show Diagnostic computer that allows the technician to read diagnostic trouble codes, readiness status, freeze frame data and other information.  
🗑
Trip   show
🗑
