IF YOU WANT TO PASS
YOUR ILLINOIS
EMISSION TEST THE
FIRST TIME...
Let us scan your
vehicle before your
emission test and we
will let you know if
it will pass.
A word about
emission testing in
Illinois. Today
vehicles are
sensitive and
complicated. Just
getting a simple oil
change by an
unqualified
technician can lead
to an emission
failure later down
the road. Our
customers vehicles
do not fail emission
tests because our
customers cars are
in top shape and
kept that way.
DON'T TURN OFF THAT
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
INCORRECTLY!
Turning off that
check engine light
by removing the
battery cable for a
few seconds or
clearing the code
with a scanner can
cause you more
trouble than you
realize. Clearing
that code from your
computers memory
(turning off the
check engine light)
with a scanner on an
OBD-II or CAN
equipped vehicle
will also clear all
of the computers
readiness monitors.
Getting those
monitors to run
again and reset can
then be quite a
task. Some vehicles
especially Mercedes
Benz and many Asian
vehicles are very
hard to reset, in
fact, the average
mechanic may never
get them to run or
reset correctly.
Remember all
manufactures drive
cycles are
different. The
proper way to shut
off that check
engine light and the
proper fix is to
repair the problem
and then drive the
vehicle thru that
monitor. When the
computer sees that
the problem is fixed
the computer will
turn out the check
engine light for
you. This is the
proper professional
fix, believe me,
there is no other
way.
