inspection has replaced the tailpipe emission

test.

How can my vehicle fail OBD II emission

inspection?

Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspec-

tion for any of the following reasons.

•

If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit, your

vehicle may fail inspection.

•

If your vehicle's Check Engine light was lit,

but went out without any action on your

part, OBD II will still have a recorded fault.

Your vehicle may pass or fail, depending

on the inspection practices in your area.

•

If you had recent service that required dis-

connecting the battery, OBD II diagnostic

information may be incomplete and "not

ready" for inspection. A vehicle that is not

ready may fail inspection.

How can I prepare for my next OBD II

emission inspection?

•

If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit – or

was lit but went out without service, have

your vehicle diagnosed and, if necessary,

serviced by a qualified Volvo technician.

•

If you recently had service for a lit Check

Engine light, or if you had service that

required disconnecting the battery, a

period of driving is necessary to bring the

OBD II system to "ready" for inspection. A

half-hour trip of mixed stop-and-go/high-

way driving is typically needed to allow

OBD II to reach readiness. Your Volvo

retailer can provide you with more infor-

mation on planning a trip.

•

Maintain your vehicle in accordance with

your vehicle's maintenance schedule.
