Auto Emissions has OBD express lanes now. This means that 1996 and newer vehicles have On Board Diagnostics that allow for faster screening. These lanes move a lot faster than the other lanes.
First time ever my newer vehicle was Rejected due to the fact the DLC was loose so that the diagnostics could not be accessed by Emissions.
I was pretty disturbed wondering how I was going to get this fixed--back to the dealer maybe? But no, a roadside mechanic on the road outside Emissions offered to fix it for 10 bucks. Took advantage of this offer, went back thru Emissions and passed!!!
Cant help thinking the whole situation was a little strange.
