A High Enhanced emissions inspection is required for vehicles registered in the nine county New York Metropolitan Area (NYMA) of Nassau, Suffolk, Rockland, Westchester, and the five counties within New York City, The purpose of this inspection is to measure the amount of hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, and carbon monoxide pollutants coming from the vehicle exhaust. The High Enhanced emissions inspection includes a Simulated driving condition test (on a dynamometer) for gasoline powered vehicles, 1981 model year and newer, that weigh 8,500 pounds or fewer. An "idle emissions test" (engine at idle only) is required for gasoline powered vehicles that weigh more than 8,500 Pounds, are less than 26 model years old, and were manufactured for the 1980 model vear or- older.
A Low Enhanced inspection is required for vehicles registered in counties outside this area. Vehicles registered in counties within the Low Enhanced inspection area are not subject to the sit-simulated driving condition test or the idle emissions test.
In all areas of the state, the High Enhanced and Low Enhanced emissions inspections require a check for the presence and connection of required pollution control devices. The vehicle's gas cap is also checked for its presence, condition, and proper fit. In addition, an "on-board diagnostic" (OBD) check is required for vehicles of model year 1996 and newer.
The following pollution control devices are examined if the vehicle was originally manufactured with them. The vehicle model years affected are indicated.
* Positive crankcase ventilation system (PCV) - 1968 and newer.
* Catalytic converter (CAT) - 1975 and newer.
* Fuel inlet restrictor (FIR) - 1984 and newer.
* Exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR) - 1973 and newer.
* Thermostatic air cleaner (TAC) - 1984 and newer.
* Air injection system (AIS) - 1984 and newer.
* Evaporative emission control (EVAP) - 1984 and newer.
