92_HB5255enr HB5255 Enrolled LRB9211482DHmg 1 AN ACT regarding vehicles. 2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, 3 represented in the General Assembly: 4 Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by 5 changing Sections 13A-115 and 13B-25 as follows: 6 (625 ILCS 5/13A-115) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 13A-115) 7 Sec. 13A-115. Effectiveness. This Chapter 13A is 8 repealed on January 1, 2003shall cease to be effective when9the continuation of the program has been implemented under10Chapter 13B. 11 (Source: P.A. 86-1433; 88-533.) 12 (625 ILCS 5/13B-25) 13 Sec. 13B-25. Performance of inspections. 14 (a) The inspection of vehicles required under this 15 Chapter shall be performed only: (i) by inspectors who have 16 been certified by the Agency after successfully completing a 17 course of training and successfully passing a written test; 18 (ii) at official inspection stations or official on-road 19 inspection sites established under this Chapter; and (iii) 20 with equipment that has been approved by the Agency for these 21 inspections. 22 (b) Except as provided in subsections (c) and (d), the 23 inspection shall consist of (i) a loaded mode exhaust gas 24 analysis; (ii) an evaporative system integrity test; (iii) an 25 on-board computer diagnostic system check; and (iv) a 26 verification that all required emission-related recall 27 repairs have been made under Title 40, Section 51.370 of the 28 Code of Federal Regulations;,and may also include an 29 evaporative system purge test. The owner of the vehicle or 30 the owner's agent shall be entitled to an emission inspection HB5255 Enrolled -2- LRB9211482DHmg 1 certificate issued by an inspector only if all required tests 2 are passed at the time of the inspection. 3 (c) A steady-state idle exhaust gas analysis may be 4 substituted for the loaded mode exhaust gas analysis and the 5 evaporative purge system test in the following cases: 6 (1) On any vehicle of model year 1980 or older. 7 (2) On any heavy duty vehicle with a manufacturer 8 gross vehicle weight rating in excess of 8,500 pounds. 9 (3) On any vehicle for which loaded mode testing is 10 not possible due to vehicle design or configuration. 11 (d) The procedures contained in subsections (d)(1) and 12 (d)(2) of this Section shall be followed on model year 1996 13 and newer vehicles equipped with OBD on-board computer 14 diagnostic equipment, as required. 15 (1) Beginning on July 1, 2002, and continuing 16 through December 31, 2003, such vehicles shall be given a 17 complete on-board diagnostic test consistent with the 18 requirements of paragraphs (d)(1)(A) through (d)(1)(D) of 19 this Section. 20 (A) If the vehicle meets the standards set for 21 the complete on-board computer diagnostic test, 22 neither the loaded mode exhaust gas analysis nor the 23 idle exhaust gas analysis shall be performed; 24 however, all other elements of the test contained in 25 subsection (b) of this Section shall be performed. 26 (B) If, however, the vehicle fails to meet the 27 standard for the complete on-board computer 28 diagnostic test, it shall be given the loaded mode 29 exhaust gas analysis or the idle exhaust gas 30 analysis, as required, and all other elements of the 31 test contained in subsection (b) of this Section, 32 unless the owner of the vehicle chooses to avoid the 33 loaded mode exhaust gas analysis or idle exhaust gas 34 analysis and proceed directly under paragraph HB5255 Enrolled -3- LRB9211482DHmg 1 (d)(1)(C) of this Section. For those vehicles that 2 fail to meet the standard for the complete on-board 3 computer diagnostic test, the owner of the vehicle 4 must be informed that he or she has the option to 5 have the vehicle tested using the less stringent 6 loaded mode exhaust gas analysis or the idle exhaust 7 gas analysis, as appropriate, for one test cycle. 8 (C) If the vehicle fails to meet the standard 9 for the complete on-board computer diagnostic test 10 and the standard for the loaded mode exhaust gas 11 analysis or the idle exhaust gas analysis, as 12 required, or the owner of the vehicle has chosen to 13 avoid the loaded mode exhaust gas analysis or idle 14 exhaust gas analysis and proceed directly under this 15 paragraph, the vehicle must be repaired to pass 16 either the complete on-board computer diagnostic 17 test or the loaded mode exhaust gas analysis or idle 18 exhaust gas analysis, as required, and all other 19 elements of the test contained in subsection (b) of 20 this Section. 21 (D) The on-board computer diagnostic test 22 shall not be a required element of the inspection 23 mandated by this Section for such vehicles for which 24 on-board computer diagnostic testing is not possible 25 due to the vehicle's originally certified design or 26 its design as modified in accordance with federal 27 law and regulations, or for vehicles with known 28 on-board diagnostic communications or software 29 problems, as determined by the Agency. In such 30 cases, all other elements of the inspection required 31 under this Section shall be performed on such 32 vehicles, including the exhaust gas analysis as 33 specified in subsection (b) of this Section. 34 By April 15, 2003, the Agency shall submit to the HB5255 Enrolled -4- LRB9211482DHmg 1 General Assembly a report detailing the effectiveness of 2 the use of the on-board computer diagnostic test. The 3 report shall include the number of failures, the reason 4 for each failure, the number of vehicle damage 5 complaints, and the average wait time at the test 6 stations. 7 (2) Beginning on January 1, 2004, such vehicles 8 shall be given a complete on-board diagnostic test 9 consistent with the requirements of paragraphs (d)(2)(A) 10 and (d)(2)(B) of this Section. 11 (A) The loaded mode exhaust gas analysis 12 specified in subsection (b) of this Section shall 13 not be performed on such vehicles for which the 14 on-board computer diagnostic test specified in 15 subsection (h) of this Section can be performed. 16 All other elements of the inspection required for 17 such vehicles shall be performed in accordance with 18 the provisions of this Section. 19 (B) The on-board computer diagnostic test 20 shall not be a required element of the inspection 21 mandated by this Section for such vehicles for which 22 on-board computer diagnostic testing is not possible 23 due to the vehicle's originally certified design or 24 its design as modified in accordance with federal 25 law and regulations, or for vehicles with known 26 on-board diagnostic communications or software 27 problems, as determined by the Agency. In such 28 cases, all other elements of the inspection required 29 under this Section shall be performed on such 30 vehicles, including the exhaust gas analysis as 31 specified in subsection (b) of this Section. 32A steady-state idle gas analysis may also be substituted for33the new procedures specified in subsection (b) in inspections34conducted in calendar year 1995 on any vehicle of model yearHB5255 Enrolled -5- LRB9211482DHmg 11990 or older.2 (e) The exhaust gas analysis shall consist of a test of 3 an exhaust gas sample to determine whether the quantities of 4 exhaust gas pollutants emitted by the vehicle meet the 5 standards set for vehicles of that type under Section 13B-20. 6 A vehicle shall be deemed to have passed this portion of the 7 inspection if the evaluation of the exhaust gas sample 8 indicates that the quantities of exhaust gas pollutants 9 emitted by the vehicle do not exceed the standards set for 10 vehicles of that type under Section 13B-20 or an inspector 11 certifies that the vehicle qualifies for a waiver of the 12 exhaust gas pollutant standards under Section 13B-30. 13 (f) The evaporative system integrity test shall consist 14 of a procedure to determine if leaks exist in all or a 15 portion of the vehicle fuel evaporation emission control 16 system. A vehicle shall be deemed to have passed this test 17 if it meets the criteria that the Board may adopt for an 18 evaporative system integrity test. 19 (g) The evaporative system purge test shall consist of a 20 procedure to verify the purging of vapors stored in the 21 evaporative canister. A vehicle shall be deemed to have 22 passed this test if it meets the criteria that the Board may 23 adopt for an evaporative system purge test. 24 (h) The on-board computer diagnostic test shall consist 25 of accessing the vehicle's on-board computer system, if so 26 equipped, and reading any stored diagnostic codes that may be 27 present. The vehicle shall be deemed to have passed this 28 test if the codes observed did not exceed standards set for 29 vehicles of that type under Section 13B-20. 30 (Source: P.A. 90-475, eff. 8-17-97.) 31 Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon 32 becoming law.
