8 (625 ILCS 5/13B-25)
9 Sec. 13B-25. Performance of inspections.
10 (a) The inspection of vehicles required under this
11 Chapter shall be performed only: (i) by inspectors who have
12 been certified by the Agency after successfully completing a
13 course of training and successfully passing a written test;
14 (ii) at official inspection stations or official on-road
15 inspection sites established under this Chapter; and (iii)
16 with equipment that has been approved by the Agency for these
17 inspections.
18 (b) Except as provided in subsections (c) and (d), the
19 inspection shall consist of (i) a loaded mode exhaust gas
20 analysis; (ii) an evaporative system integrity test; (iii) an
21 on-board computer diagnostic system check; and (iv) a
22 verification that all required emission-related recall
23 repairs have been made under Title 40, Section 51.370 of the
24 Code of Federal Regulations, and may also include an
25 evaporative system purge test. The owner of the vehicle or
26 the owner's agent shall be entitled to an emission inspection
27 certificate issued by an inspector only if all required tests
28 are passed at the time of the inspection.
29 (c) A steady-state idle exhaust gas analysis may be
30 substituted for the loaded mode exhaust gas analysis and the
31 evaporative purge system test in the following cases:
32 (1) On any vehicle of model year 1980 or older.
-4- LRB9201357LDpr
1 (2) On any heavy duty vehicle with a manufacturer
2 gross vehicle weight rating in excess of 8,500 pounds.
3 (3) On any vehicle for which loaded mode testing is
4 not possible due to vehicle design or configuration.
5 (d) If authorized by the United States Environmental
6 Protection Agency with no or a minimal loss of emission
7 reduction benefits and if authorized by rules that the Board
8 or the Agency may adopt, the following procedures shall be
9 followed on model year 1996 and newer vehicles equipped with
10 OBDII on-board computer diagnostic equipment:
11 (1) The loaded mode exhaust gas analysis specified
12 in subsection (b) of this Section shall not be performed
13 on such vehicles for which the on-board computer
14 diagnostic test specified in subsection (h) of this
15 Section can be performed. All other elements of the
16 inspection required for such vehicles shall be performed
17 in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
18 (2) The on-board computer diagnostic test shall not
19 be a required element of the inspection mandated by this
20 Section for such vehicles for which on-board computer
21 diagnostic testing is not possible due to the vehicle's
22 originally certified design or its design as modified in
23 accordance with federal law and regulations. In such
24 cases, all other elements of the inspection required
25 under this Section shall be performed on such vehicles,
26 including the exhaust gas analysis as specified in
27 subsection (b) of this Section. A steady-state idle gas
28 analysis may also be substituted for the new procedures
29 specified in subsection (b) in inspections conducted in
30 calendar year 1995 on any vehicle of model year 1990 or
31 older.
32 (e) The exhaust gas analysis shall consist of a test of
33 an exhaust gas sample to determine whether the quantities of
34 exhaust gas pollutants emitted by the vehicle meet the
-5- LRB9201357LDpr
1 standards set for vehicles of that type under Section 13B-20.
2 A vehicle shall be deemed to have passed this portion of the
3 inspection if the evaluation of the exhaust gas sample
4 indicates that the quantities of exhaust gas pollutants
5 emitted by the vehicle do not exceed the standards set for
6 vehicles of that type under Section 13B-20 or an inspector
7 certifies that the vehicle qualifies for a waiver of the
8 exhaust gas pollutant standards under Section 13B-30.
9 (f) The evaporative system integrity test shall consist
10 of a procedure to determine if leaks exist in all or a
11 portion of the vehicle fuel evaporation emission control
12 system. A vehicle shall be deemed to have passed this test
13 if it meets the criteria that the Board may adopt for an
14 evaporative system integrity test.
15 (g) The evaporative system purge test shall consist of a
16 procedure to verify the purging of vapors stored in the
17 evaporative canister. A vehicle shall be deemed to have
18 passed this test if it meets the criteria that the Board may
19 adopt for an evaporative system purge test.
20 (h) The on-board computer diagnostic test shall consist
21 of accessing the vehicle's on-board computer system, if so
22 equipped, and reading any stored diagnostic codes that may be
23 present. The vehicle shall be deemed to have passed this
24 test if the codes observed did not exceed standards set for
25 vehicles of that type under Section 13B-20.
