Nys emissions and maybe other states

[Jay_gst97]

Hey guys I'm new to the forums but I been searching here for the last few weeks to figure out some problems I was having with my 97 gst not being able to get the monitors ready for inspection.
So j live in NY which most of u know is hell for our emissions inspection.
I have been a licensed inspector for years and could not understand at first why my car would not ready up 5 monitors.
So long story short I just wanted to do this write to hopefully help or clear some things up for some of the other newer dsm guys
First off I checked fuses,relays and then continued to check the 2 main power supplys at the ecu and then checked the back up power to make sure it was 12v even with the key off I recommend doin this first incase u have lost power somewhere wasn't my problem. I did replace my alternator because of low voltage at the ecu which now is fixed .ok so I drove 1600 miles and still no cel and no monitors were complete I drove to my job plugged it into the nys inspection machine and it passed with flying colors so I want to let u guys in NY know the inspection machine is updated for these year cars and it will pass as long as u have no cel regardless of the readiness monitors figured it be some good info for someone thanks

For any future people searching for info on emeissions, this thread has a lot of info on the readiness monitors, the EPA readiness testability docs with the listings of exemptions & emissions too.

Yes I figured it's some useful info up here in NY if there's any guys in NY that were driving themselves crazy like I was

The majority of 2gs are exempt from emissions readiness. It is nation wide, not just in NY.

I did in fact read that but could not find it on the nys dmv website nor did anyone I talk to there know anything about and when I called the mitsu dealer they all denied that being true so I went ahead and tested it first hand myself

They must have changed requirements to pass. I worked as a service advisor for over a decade ~15+ years ago. Back then you could not have more than 2 or 3 incomplete monitors, it was an automatic fail. This was in nj, not ny but IIRC it was very similar.

Yes it is still infact 2 Inc u will pass here but they must of finally updated our system for these vehicles
