How to Pass Your Smog Check the First Time

Want to improve your chances of passing? Follow these expert tips before your test:

  1. Drive for at least 20 minutes – A warmed-up engine produces fewer emissions.
  2. Check your oil and air filter – Dirty oil and clogged filters can lead to test failures.
  3. Ensure your check engine light is off – If it’s on, your vehicle will automatically fail.
  4. Inflate your tires properly – Especially important if tested on a dynamometer.
  5. Use high-quality fuel and a fuel additive – Helps clean out carbon buildup.
