7 Sec. 13A-115. Effectiveness. This Chapter 13A is

12 (625 ILCS 5/13B-25)
13 Sec. 13B-25. Performance of inspections.
14 (a) The inspection of vehicles required under this
15 Chapter shall be performed only: (i) by inspectors who have
16 been certified by the Agency after successfully completing a
17 course of training and successfully passing a written test;
18 (ii) at official inspection stations or official on-road
19 inspection sites established under this Chapter; and (iii)
20 with equipment that has been approved by the Agency for these
21 inspections.
22 (b) Except as provided in subsections (c) and (d), the
23 inspection shall consist of (i) a loaded mode exhaust gas
24 analysis; (ii) an evaporative system integrity test; (iii) an
25 on-board computer diagnostic system check; and (iv) a
26 verification that all required emission-related recall
27 repairs have been made under Title 40, Section 51.370 of the
28 Code of Federal Regulations;, and may also include an
29 evaporative system purge test. The owner of the vehicle or
30 the owner's agent shall be entitled to an emission inspection
HB5255 Engrossed -2- LRB9211482DHmg
1 certificate issued by an inspector only if all required tests
2 are passed at the time of the inspection.
3 (c) A steady-state idle exhaust gas analysis may be
4 substituted for the loaded mode exhaust gas analysis and the
5 evaporative purge system test in the following cases:
6 (1) On any vehicle of model year 1980 or older.
7 (2) On any heavy duty vehicle with a manufacturer
8 gross vehicle weight rating in excess of 8,500 pounds.
9 (3) On any vehicle for which loaded mode testing is
10 not possible due to vehicle design or configuration.
11 (d) The procedures contained in subsections (d)(1) and
12 (d)(2) of this Section shall be followed on model year 1996
13 and newer vehicles equipped with OBD on-board computer
14 diagnostic equipment, as required.
15 (1) Beginning on July 1, 2002, and continuing
16 through December 31, 2003, such vehicles shall be given a
17 complete on-board diagnostic test consistent with the
18 requirements of paragraphs (d)(1)(A) through (d)(1)(D) of
19 this Section.
20 (A) If the vehicle meets the standards set for
21 the complete on-board computer diagnostic test,
22 neither the loaded mode exhaust gas analysis nor the
23 idle exhaust gas analysis shall be performed;
24 however, all other elements of the test contained in
25 subsection (b) of this Section shall be performed.
26 (B) If, however, the vehicle fails to meet the
27 standard for the complete on-board computer
28 diagnostic test, it shall be given the loaded mode
29 exhaust gas analysis or the idle exhaust gas
30 analysis, as required, and all other elements of the
31 test contained in subsection (b) of this Section,
32 unless the owner of the vehicle chooses to avoid the
33 loaded mode exhaust gas analysis or idle exhaust gas
34 analysis and proceed directly under paragraph
HB5255 Engrossed -3- LRB9211482DHmg
1 (d)(1)(C) of this Section.
2 (C) If the vehicle fails to meet the standard
3 for the complete on-board computer diagnostic test
4 and the standard for the loaded mode exhaust gas
5 analysis or the idle exhaust gas analysis, as
6 required, or the owner of the vehicle has chosen to
7 avoid the loaded mode exhaust gas analysis or idle
8 exhaust gas analysis and proceed directly under this
9 paragraph, the vehicle must be repaired to pass
10 either the complete on-board computer diagnostic
11 test or the loaded mode exhaust gas analysis or idle
12 exhaust gas analysis, as required, and all other
13 elements of the test contained in subsection (b) of
14 this Section.
15 (D) The on-board computer diagnostic test
16 shall not be a required element of the inspection
17 mandated by this Section for such vehicles for which
18 on-board computer diagnostic testing is not possible
19 due to the vehicle's originally certified design or
20 its design as modified in accordance with federal
21 law and regulations. In such cases, all other
22 elements of the inspection required under this
23 Section shall be performed on such vehicles,
24 including the exhaust gas analysis as specified in
25 subsection (b) of this Section.
26 (2) Beginning on January 1, 2004, such vehicles
27 shall be given a complete on-board diagnostic test
28 consistent with the requirements of paragraphs (d)(2)(A)
29 and (d)(2)(B) of this Section.
30 (A) The loaded mode exhaust gas analysis
31 specified in subsection (b) of this Section shall
32 not be performed on such vehicles for which the
33 on-board computer diagnostic test specified in
34 subsection (h) of this Section can be performed.
HB5255 Engrossed -4- LRB9211482DHmg
1 All other elements of the inspection required for
2 such vehicles shall be performed in accordance with
3 the provisions of this Section.
4 (B) The on-board computer diagnostic test
5 shall not be a required element of the inspection
6 mandated by this Section for such vehicles for which
7 on-board computer diagnostic testing is not possible
8 due to the vehicle's originally certified design or
9 its design as modified in accordance with federal
10 law and regulations. In such cases, all other
11 elements of the inspection required under this
12 Section shall be performed on such vehicles,
13 including the exhaust gas analysis as specified in
14 subsection (b) of this Section.
15 A steady-state idle gas analysis may also be substituted for
16 the new procedures specified in subsection (b) in inspections
17 conducted in calendar year 1995 on any vehicle of model year
18 1990 or older.
19 (e) The exhaust gas analysis shall consist of a test of
20 an exhaust gas sample to determine whether the quantities of
21 exhaust gas pollutants emitted by the vehicle meet the
22 standards set for vehicles of that type under Section 13B-20.
23 A vehicle shall be deemed to have passed this portion of the
24 inspection if the evaluation of the exhaust gas sample
25 indicates that the quantities of exhaust gas pollutants
26 emitted by the vehicle do not exceed the standards set for
27 vehicles of that type under Section 13B-20 or an inspector
28 certifies that the vehicle qualifies for a waiver of the
29 exhaust gas pollutant standards under Section 13B-30.
30 (f) The evaporative system integrity test shall consist
31 of a procedure to determine if leaks exist in all or a
32 portion of the vehicle fuel evaporation emission control
33 system. A vehicle shall be deemed to have passed this test
34 if it meets the criteria that the Board may adopt for an
HB5255 Engrossed -5- LRB9211482DHmg
1 evaporative system integrity test.
2 (g) The evaporative system purge test shall consist of a
3 procedure to verify the purging of vapors stored in the
4 evaporative canister. A vehicle shall be deemed to have
5 passed this test if it meets the criteria that the Board may
6 adopt for an evaporative system purge test.
7 (h) The on-board computer diagnostic test shall consist
8 of accessing the vehicle's on-board computer system, if so
9 equipped, and reading any stored diagnostic codes that may be
10 present. The vehicle shall be deemed to have passed this
11 test if the codes observed did not exceed standards set for
12 vehicles of that type under Section 13B-20.
