Will my car pass inspection with the check engine light on?
In most states an illuminated check engine light means an automatic failure of the emissions inspection, because the light indicates the vehicle's emissions monitors have detected a fault. Florida currently does not require an annual safety or emissions inspection for most passenger vehicles, so you will not fail a state test here. However, if you plan to register a car in a state that does inspect, sell the vehicle, or simply want it running cleanly, the light needs to be resolved. The underlying issue can also hurt fuel economy and lead to costlier damage. At Motoro Cars in Miami, our ASE-certified, AAA-approved technicians use computerized diagnostics to clear the fault correctly so your emissions monitors pass. Call Wynwood at (786) 634-2002 or Doral at (786) 633-3220 to get your check engine light handled before any inspection or sale.
