[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can also get an OBD2 readout for free from the local auto parts stores. They can reset the light too. Do not do it the same day you are going in for inspection. It takes a few engine cycles and some driving for the car to adjust the emissions values. If you get inspected right away you will get an automatic failure and have to come back for a new reading.[/quote] Not true. I just did it the same day earlier this year with my ancient 1999 Subaru. I reset the check engine light the same morning as my inspection at the DC DMV at the SW Inspection Facility. There were zero issues with resetting the same day.[/quote] Lucky you or perhaps you drove enough between reset and inspection. I’ve been failed automatically with multiple cars that had recently been reset. The inspector said it happens frequently and I had to bring it back in for reinspection (it was quicker as all they needed to check was the OBD faults)[/quote]
