How To Get Your Car Ready For a Smog Check – Pass 100% Of The Time – I/M Drive Cycle Ready

 

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.
