Inspection/Maintenance System Check: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Several states require that a vehicle passes the inspection/maintenance (I/M) emission inspection in order to renew license plates. This is accomplished by viewing the I/M System Status display on a scan tool. With a scan tool, the technician can observe the on-board diagnostic (OBD) system tests in order to verify the vehicle meets the criteria that comply with the local area requirements.
