In this video, I show you how to prepare your car for a smog test via the drive cycle. Smog laws where changed in 2013 to take advantage of the OBD2 system in cars 1996 and up. Since then, the way the smog check is done has changed compared to pre-2013. I show you what needs to be done so you can pass your smog check on the first try. If you thought this video was helpful, don’t forget to comment, like, share and subscribe! Thanks for watching!
*NOTE - The OBD2 system is only read for cars that are 2000 and newer. If you have an OBD2 car from 1996-1999, smog stations still do the "sniffer test" on your car. Basically, for those year cars, they still do the smog check the old way and this video isn't relevant to your particular car.
