Section 10.12.100 Inspection Procedure for Enhanced Basic I/M Program Inspections.

    A.    The official Emissions Test shall be solely performed by a Certified Emissions Repair Facility and/or Enhanced Basic Test Station  where the Inspection is being performed and Division approved Inspection procedures are to be followed.
    B.    If the Certified Emissions Repair Technician is unable, unqualified, or unwilling to make the required repairs or adjustments, should the vehicle fail the Emissions Test, he/she shall notify the owner/operator of the vehicle before the Emissions Test is administered.
    C.    The entire Inspection shall take place within the reach of the analyzer hose.
    D.    The temperature of the inspection area shall be between forty-one (41) degrees Fahrenheit and one hundred ten (110) degrees Fahrenheit during the inspection.
    E.    The analyzer shall be kept in an area that provides adequate protection from the weather, wind, and extreme temperatures.
    F.    The electrical supply to the analyzer shall be able to meet the analyzer manufacturer’s requirements for voltage and frequency stability.  Real time data links shall be connected and functioning when applicable.
    G.    The Certified Emissions Repair Technician and/or Tester shall not inspect or test any Motor Vehicle with a mechanical condition which may cause injury to inspection personnel or damage to the  Certified Emission Repair Facility and/or Enhanced Basic Test Station or test equipment or which may affect the validity of the test, until such condition is corrected. Such conditions include, but are not limited to: coolant, oil, or fuel leaks, low oil or low fluid levels, and high visible emissions (smoker).
    H.    Any time an engine stalls during a Two-Speed Idle Emissions Test, the test shall be restarted. If a Certified Emissions Repair Technician and/or Tester cannot complete a test because of continuous stalling, fluctuating RPM measurements, or RPM measurements that are not within the Division and manufacturers specified parameters, then these problems shall be corrected before the test is continued.
    I.     Any time the analyzer cannot establish communication through the data link of a 1996 or newer light-duty truck (8500 GVWR or less) or automobile, the communication problem must be corrected before the test can continue.
    J.     Data Entry:
        1.    The Technician/Tester shall verify the vehicle license plate and vehicle identification numbers by comparing the information on the vehicle's registration with those on the vehicle and shall accurately record them on the UTAH2000 Analyzer.
        2.    The Technician/Tester shall verify the owner's name and address and enter this information or scan it into the analyzer from the registration form.  The Technician/Tester shall determine and enter the county in which the vehicle is registered.
        3.    The Technician/Tester shall enter completely and accurately all the information required as part of the data entry procedure for the official Vehicle Emission Test on the UTAH2000 Analyzer.    
    K.    The Technician/Tester shall:
        1.    Follow and complete all prompts or inquiries of the UTAH2000 Analyzer.
        2.     Examine the emissions/tune-up specification decal (sticker) under the hood or check an approved application guide to determine if the vehicle was manufactured with a Catalytic Converter, Air Injection Reaction (AIR) system, PCV system, EGR System, Evaporative Control System, Gas Cap and other air pollution control devices.
        3.     On 1984 and newer vehicles visually inspect for the presence and apparent operability of the AIR System, Catalytic Converter, EGR system, Evaporative Control System, PCV system, and perform a functional gas tank cap test in accordance with Division procedures and record the information in the emissions analyzer if these parts or systems have been removed or are inoperable.
        4.     On 1983 and older vehicles visually inspect for the presence and apparent operability of the AIR system, Catalytic Converter, PCV system, EGR system, Evaporative Control System, gas cap or other air pollution control equipment required on the vehicle in accordance with Division procedures, and record the information in the emissions analyzer. If these parts or systems have been removed or are inoperable, the owner shall repair or replace the parts or systems before an Emissions Waiver may be issued.    
    L.        Each vehicle receiving a Two-Speed Idle Test shall be checked to determine that it is at normal operating temperature before performing the Emissions Inspection.         1.    The vehicle shall be tested according to the testing sequence as detailed in the analyzer specifications referenced in Section 10.12.240 as programmed into the analyzer testing sequence.  Vehicles failing because of excessive exhaust dilution shall repair the dilution problem prior to continuing the emission test.  The dilution standard shall be contained in the analyzer specifications as referenced in Section 10.12.240 and adjusted when the Division determines by analysis that an adjustment is necessary to yield a more accurate level of emissions readings.    
    M.    A Certificate of Compliance shall be issued if:
        1.    The vehicle emissions levels are the same as or less than the applicable emissions standards; and
        2.    For 1984 and newer model year vehicles, the vehicle passes the visual Tampering Inspection.    
    N.    All testing procedures for restart testing, second chance testing, etc, shall be followed as contained in the analyzer specifications referenced in Section 10.12.240.
    O .     For 1996 and newer vehicles being tested at Basic Enhanced Test Stations:
        1.    The Certified Emissions Tester or Certified Emissions Tester/Repair Technician shall enter as prompted by the UTAH2000 analyzer all appropriate data.  After data entries have been completed the tester shall follow the OBDII Test Procedure as prompted by the UTAH2000 analyzer.
        2.    After test completion, whether the vehicle passes, fails, or is not ready, the tester shall sign all appropriate documents where indicated.    
    P.    OBDII (Onboard Diagnostics Generation II):
            1.    Federal law requires that all automotive manufacturers meet OBDII standards by 1996.
            2.    A Malfunction Indicator Lamp (M.I.L.) must illuminate if a system or component either fails or deteriorates to the point where the vehicles emissions could rise above 1-1/2 times the Federal Test Procedure Standards.  The M.I.L. must function and the Power Train Control Module (P.C.U.) must be able to take command of the M.I.L.
    Q.    Any time the analyzer cannot establish communication through the data link of a 1996 or newer light-duty truck (8500 GVWR or less) or automobile, the communication problem must be corrected.
    R.    A Certificate of Compliance shall be issued if:
        1.    The vehicle emission levels are the same as or less than the applicable standards; and
        2.    For 1984 and newer Model Year vehicles, the vehicle passes the visual Tampering Inspection.
    S.    The Certificate of Compliance and Inspection records shall be completed accurately, signed immediately and filed and distributed, as required by the Division.  The customer shall be given the appropriate copy.
    T.    Gray Market Cars - Automotive imports applying for registration in Davis County must have, at the minimum:
        1.    1995 and older vehicles will be required to pass the tailpipe and tampering standards for the Model Year appearing on the registration.
        2.    1996 and newer vehicles, 8500 pounds GVWR or less, must be equipped with a functioning OBDII system, and must pass the OBDII Test.
    U.    Replica Vehicles/Kit Cars - A Replica Vehicle is a motor vehicle with a body that is or resembles a model year prior to 1975 and that may have a significant drive train or equipment upgrade.  A Replica Vehicle is for occasional pleasure rides and is not used for general daily transportation.  A Replica Vehicle is not a vintage vehicle, nor a special interest vehicle.
        1.    A Replica Vehicle shall comply with emission standards applicable to the model year of the engine of the Replica Vehicle.
