Does Ohio E-check checks real analysis of exhaust gas or do they just check OBD?

I am getting ART pipes soon but not sure about Ohio E-Check.

 

The following counties in the Cleveland & Akron area are required to continue the E-Check program; Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage & Summit counties.



Unless you're in these counties, you don't need an e-check

 

I am at the Cuyahoga... the subject of E-Check.

Does E-check really analysis contents of gas? then?

 

They just do a scan through the OBDII port. I just had this done on my G in Lorain county.

 

Position 1



1. The inspector asks you to exit your vehicle and wait inside the booth while your vehicle is tested.

2. The inspector performs a tampering inspection on your vehicle. They make sure your vehicle has both a gas cap and a catalytic converter (if it was manufactured with both). They also check for obvious fluid leaks, bald tires, and other safety concerns that may prevent your vehicle from being tested.

3. The inspector enters the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into the computer so that the emissions standard for your vehicle can be pulled up and the vehicle identified.

Position 2



OBD Test

If your vehicle is 1996 or newer (gasoline) or 1997 or newer (diesel), it will most likely be tested with on-board diagnostics (OBD II) technology*. A handheld reader device will be connected to your vehicle's data port to download emission control system performance codes.

If your vehicle's data port is inaccessible, your vehicle will receive a tailpipe test on the dynamometer.

Tailpipe Test

1. The vehicle is moved onto a dynamometer, a treadmill-like device, and a probe is placed in the tailpipe to collect gases.

2. The vehicle is driven at a constant speed between 24 and 26 mph in a simulation of actual driving conditions.

3. Tailpipe exhaust is analyzed to determine how much pollution it contains. Vehicles should complete this phase of the test in 2 to 4 minutes.

4. Vehicles that cannot be driven on the dynamometer because of weight, traction control or four-wheel drive are given an idle test.


* Some restrictions may apply.

Position 3



1. The vehicle is now driven from position 2 to position 3 and prepared for the gas cap pressure test. The inspector will remove your gas cap and connect it to a gauge that measures pressure. This ensures that gasoline vapor is not being lost from your tank.

2. Once the testing is complete, the inspector will hand you your Vehicle Inspection Report and explain the results.

 

Thanks for fast replies guys

I think I would be ok with the E-check, if a inspector do not notice smell at the tampering stage.

 

sucks you gotta echeck man, can't wait to put my test pipes on

 

If you are running test pipes you will not pass inspection. Period.

Edited for grammer. Thinking one thing typing another...

 

Did you word this right? test pipes won't pass e check

 

Hmmm if then would it be different place to place?

Because Tedisky passed E-check at Lorain County?

 

well if they are just doing an odbII check and your CEL is not lit maybe not. I would just be really surprised if you did....and thats if they dont spot non-oem cat deletes and the smell...
