, In preparation for an ASM (acceleration simulation mode) smog check, using the EIS
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
machine, Technician A says an all-wheel drive vehicle can be tested safely by using tie down ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

recirculation) valve. Why should this matter to the smog inspector? ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
a. the EGR system requires a thorough "visual inspection"
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
b. the EGR system requires "functional testing"
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
c. the EGR system could require a scan tool to perform its functional test
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
