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.
-2- LRB9211482EGfgam01
1 (b) Except as provided in subsections (c) and (d), the
2 inspection shall consist of (i) a loaded mode exhaust gas
3 analysis; (ii) an evaporative system integrity test; (iii) an
4 on-board computer diagnostic system check; and (iv) a
5 verification that all required emission-related recall
6 repairs have been made under Title 40, Section 51.370 of the
7 Code of Federal Regulations;, and may also include an
8 evaporative system purge test. The owner of the vehicle or
9 the owner's agent shall be entitled to an emission inspection
10 certificate issued by an inspector only if all required tests
11 are passed at the time of the inspection.
12 (c) A steady-state idle exhaust gas analysis may be
13 substituted for the loaded mode exhaust gas analysis and the
14 evaporative purge system test in the following cases:
15 (1) On any vehicle of model year 1980 or older.
16 (2) On any heavy duty vehicle with a manufacturer
17 gross vehicle weight rating in excess of 8,500 pounds.
18 (3) On any vehicle for which loaded mode testing is
19 not possible due to vehicle design or configuration.
20 (d) The procedures contained in subsections (d)(1) and
21 (d)(2) of this Section shall be followed on model year 1996
22 and newer vehicles equipped with OBD on-board computer
23 diagnostic equipment, as required.
24 (1) Beginning on July 1, 2002, and continuing
25 through December 31, 2003, such vehicles shall be given a
26 complete on-board diagnostic test consistent with the
27 requirements of paragraphs (d)(1)(A) through (d)(1)(D) of
28 this Section.
29 (A) If the vehicle meets the standards set for
30 the complete on-board computer diagnostic test,
31 neither the loaded mode exhaust gas analysis nor the
32 idle exhaust gas analysis shall be performed;
33 however, all other elements of the test contained in
34 subsection (b) of this Section shall be performed.
-3- LRB9211482EGfgam01
1 (B) If, however, the vehicle fails to meet the
2 standard for the complete on-board computer
3 diagnostic test, it shall be given the loaded mode
4 exhaust gas analysis or the idle exhaust gas
5 analysis, as required, and all other elements of the
6 test contained in subsection (b) of this Section,
7 unless the owner of the vehicle chooses to avoid the
8 loaded mode exhaust gas analysis or idle exhaust gas
9 analysis and proceed directly under paragraph
10 (d)(1)(C) of this Section.
11 (C) If the vehicle fails to meet the standard
12 for the complete on-board computer diagnostic test
13 and the standard for the loaded mode exhaust gas
14 analysis or the idle exhaust gas analysis, as
15 required, or the owner of the vehicle has chosen to
16 avoid the loaded mode exhaust gas analysis or idle
17 exhaust gas analysis and proceed directly under this
18 paragraph, the vehicle must be repaired to pass
19 either the complete on-board computer diagnostic
20 test or the loaded mode exhaust gas analysis or idle
21 exhaust gas analysis, as required, and all other
22 elements of the test contained in subsection (b) of
23 this Section.
24 (D) The on-board computer diagnostic test
25 shall not be a required element of the inspection
26 mandated by this Section for such vehicles for which
27 on-board computer diagnostic testing is not possible
28 due to the vehicle's originally certified design or
29 its design as modified in accordance with federal
30 law and regulations. In such cases, all other
31 elements of the inspection required under this
32 Section shall be performed on such vehicles,
33 including the exhaust gas analysis as specified in
34 subsection (b) of this Section.
-4- LRB9211482EGfgam01
1 (2) Beginning on January 1, 2004, such vehicles
2 shall be given a complete on-board diagnostic test
3 consistent with the requirements of paragraphs (d)(2)(A)
4 and (d)(2)(B) of this Section.
5 (A) The loaded mode exhaust gas analysis
6 specified in subsection (b) of this Section shall
7 not be performed on such vehicles for which the
8 on-board computer diagnostic test specified in
9 subsection (h) of this Section can be performed.
10 All other elements of the inspection required for
11 such vehicles shall be performed in accordance with
12 the provisions of this Section.
13 (B) The on-board computer diagnostic test
14 shall not be a required element of the inspection
15 mandated by this Section for such vehicles for which
16 on-board computer diagnostic testing is not possible
17 due to the vehicle's originally certified design or
18 its design as modified in accordance with federal
19 law and regulations. In such cases, all other
20 elements of the inspection required under this
21 Section shall be performed on such vehicles,
22 including the exhaust gas analysis as specified in
23 subsection (b) of this Section.
24 A steady-state idle gas analysis may also be substituted for
25 the new procedures specified in subsection (b) in inspections
26 conducted in calendar year 1995 on any vehicle of model year
27 1990 or older.
28 (e) The exhaust gas analysis shall consist of a test of
29 an exhaust gas sample to determine whether the quantities of
30 exhaust gas pollutants emitted by the vehicle meet the
31 standards set for vehicles of that type under Section 13B-20.
32 A vehicle shall be deemed to have passed this portion of the
33 inspection if the evaluation of the exhaust gas sample
34 indicates that the quantities of exhaust gas pollutants
-5- LRB9211482EGfgam01
1 emitted by the vehicle do not exceed the standards set for
2 vehicles of that type under Section 13B-20 or an inspector
3 certifies that the vehicle qualifies for a waiver of the
4 exhaust gas pollutant standards under Section 13B-30.
5 (f) The evaporative system integrity test shall consist
6 of a procedure to determine if leaks exist in all or a
7 portion of the vehicle fuel evaporation emission control
8 system. A vehicle shall be deemed to have passed this test
9 if it meets the criteria that the Board may adopt for an
10 evaporative system integrity test.
11 (g) The evaporative system purge test shall consist of a
12 procedure to verify the purging of vapors stored in the
13 evaporative canister. A vehicle shall be deemed to have
14 passed this test if it meets the criteria that the Board may
15 adopt for an evaporative system purge test.
16 (h) The on-board computer diagnostic test shall consist
17 of accessing the vehicle's on-board computer system, if so
18 equipped, and reading any stored diagnostic codes that may be
19 present. The vehicle shall be deemed to have passed this
20 test if the codes observed did not exceed standards set for
21 vehicles of that type under Section 13B-20.
