Smog Check Procedures Manual
Exam/41 Questions and
Answers/Already Passed
1) Check for vehicle test restrictions (AWD, GVWR, etc). If test
restrictions apply, inform the customer.
2) Ensure the customer is provided an estimate and the required test
type is determined prior to drafting the invoice
3) Check hat all required equipment is up-to-date, maintained, and
calibrated
4) Ensure vehicle is safe to test - -What are the steps of the Pre-
Inspection/Pre-Repair Check List?
-1) If a stations lacks the equipment, tools, personnel, reference
materials necessary to inspect a particular vehicle
2) If a station lacks the equipment, tools, personnel, reference materials
necessary to repair a particular vehicle
3) If as a matter of policy, a test-and-repair does not repair certain types
of vehicles or inspection failures - -For what 3 reasons must a station
reject a vehicle during the Pre-Inspection/Pre-Repair Check List?
-Enter "NONE" - -If there is no license plate, what should you enter?
-Abort the test and start over using the correct info - -What happens if
an error is found after changes no longer can be made to the OIS or EIS?
-True, enter just the last 7 digits - -Don't enter the "E" preceding the
plate number of government vehicles. True or False?
-Enter "NONE" - -If the odometer is missing or illegible, what should you
enter into the EIS or OIS?
-Enter "R" for vehicle certification type - -What should you enter for a
vehicle equipped with a Referee label?
-1) SPCNS
2) grey market
3) vehicles with an engine change - -Which vehicles should you not
inspect unless it has a BAR Referee Label?
-Enter the fuel in which the vehicle was operating when it arrived at the
station - -What fuel type should you enter for dual/bi-fuel vehicles?
, -Motorhomes and heavy duty vehicles with a drive axle weight over
5,000 lbs. - -Which '76-'99 vehicles in Enhanced Areas are excluded
from ASM inspections and instead have TSI inspections?
-1) AWD or 4WD
2) Traction control that cannot be disabled
3) Too large to safely fit on dynamometer
4) Heavy duty with GVWR of 8,501 or greater
5) Heavy duty with unloaded drive axle weight over 5,000 lbs - -Which
vehicle designs are not compatible with the ASM test?
-Vehicle is not currently transporting loads for delivery or is not carrying
items of a temporary nature; excludes parts that have been welded,
bolted, or permanently affixed - -What does "unloaded" mean for
purposes of a Smog Check?
-Second gear; only select other gears to maintain the EIS specified RPM
range - -What gear should the ASM be conducted in?
-Any alternative driving modes like "towing," "low traction,"
"performance," "sport" - -Which gear's should you not use for automatic
transmissions for the ASM inspection?
-1) unsafe - gasoline leaks, large coolant leaks, faulty brakes, tire
failure
2) unfit - low oil pressure, overheating, idle RPM outside of required
limits
3) incompatible - traction control will not disengage - -What are three
examples of unsafe, unfit, or incompatible conditions?
-e.g. pressure sensors, temperature sensors, oxygen sensors - -VISUAL
INSPECTION: Computers, Sensors, Switches
(only computer-controlled)
-mechanical or electronic devices, mechanisms, or systems that control
ignition timing - -VISUAL INSPECTION: Ignition Spark Controls
(all computer-controlled vehicles)
-Air flow meters, Injectors, Throttle bodies, Throttle positioners,
Anti-"dieseling" solenoids, Early fuel evaporative, Choke controls,
Deceleration controls, Dashpots, Carburetion, Fuel Injection - -VISUAL
INSPECTION: Fuel Metering System
-Provides warm air to the air cleaner during cold start up. This helps to
improve cold engine performance and reduce automotive emissions by
providing better fuel vaporization. The TAC system is primarily used on
