Emissions
Purpose of Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) System? - ANS-Regulate the flow of
blow by gas to the crankcase
Where is the PCV located? - ANS-Atop the engine
Subject Vehicles - ANS-Gasoline powered vehicles 1975 or newer model year with a
GVWR of 9,000 or less that are required to be registered in an I/M area
What should be used to determine the GVWR? - ANS-The GVWR sticker or plate
located on the vehicle
T or F Buses with 15 or less seats and less than 9000 pounds are required to undergo
emissions testing - ANS-True
What types of vehicles are exempt from emission inspection? - ANS--New or current
model year vehicles
-Vehicles driven less than 5,000 miles in the previous 12 months which have been
owned by the same person for at least 1 year
T or F? Proof of insurance is not required for an emissions test. - ANS-True

You should never exceed how many months when installing a new sticker? - ANS-15
What is the minimum a customer needs to spend to be eligible for a waiver? -
ANS-$150
Before money can be applied towards a waiver what must be done? - ANS-Repairment
of any tampered emissions control systems. I.e: if the vehicle fails OBD I/M test due to
catalyst efficiency and it is the determined the catalyst was removed, the cost to install a
replacement catalytic converter doesn't apply towards waiver
