Pennsylvania State Inspection and Emission Tests are required for most vehicles registered in the state of PA, some exemptions may apply. These tests are done annually and usually together, to ensure your vehicle is working safely and properly.
State inspection
The Pennsylvania State Inspection is performed after your car passes the emissions test. The state inspection is overall a comprehensive safety evaluation. Typically what is checked during the state inspection is all suspension components, tires and wheels, brake system, electrical system, fluids, exhaust system, sound systems, safety systems, and so on.
Emissions Test
Just about all vehicles today come equipped with an onboard computer that monitors and controls engine performance. When evaluated, as long as all components and aspects of this onboard computer are functioning properly, your vehicle’s emission is up to federal standards.
However, if any of the sensors in the onboard computer are malfunctioning or working improperly then they need to be replaced before your vehicle can pass the emissions test. Once the malfunctioning parts are replaced and everything is working as it should, your car will pass emissions.
