Does a check engine light pass inspection?

posted on 2/9/2017 6:37:14 AM

Q: I just moved to Maryland from New Jersey and need to have my registration switched. I am worried my car will not pass inspection because my check engine light just came on. Do you perform Maryland state inspections and will I fail due to that light alone? - Marcus

 

A: Dear Marcus, 

Here at Tire Pros of Frederick, we are a full service mechanical shop with ASE Certified Maryland State Inspectors on duty. While appointments are strongly encouraged for inspections, we will also take walk ins. In regards to the check engine light, Maryland inspections are safety based and only need to be performed when changing ownership of a vehicle. You will not fail the inspection for the check engine light being on; however, in Maryland you will not pass an emissions test if the check engine light is on. When we do your inspection we will be happy to diagnose the reason your check engine light is on for free, and give you a no obligation estimate of the cost to fix the problem. Give us a call at 301-663-6334 today to schedule an appointment!
