ER Smogs

Posts Tagged ‘Smog Station’

As a Smog Station, ER Smogs has seen an increase of more owners of gasoline/electric hybrid vehicles requesting a smog check inspection, as directed by their DMV Registration Renewal notice. Gasoline/electric hybrid vehicles are currently exempt from testing and are not compatible with the current testing platform.

After a careful review, DMV determined that the “mode of power” classification files are erroneous for some gasoline/electric hybrid vehicles. This has caused some vehicle registration renewal notices to incorrectly state that a Smog Check is required.

If a customer requests a smog check for their gasoline/electric hybrid , do not perform the test. Instead inform the customer to contact DMV to correct the mod of power classification from G (gasoline) to Q (gasoline/electric hybrid).
