On a 1996 or newer vehicle, an illuminated check engine light means that the vehicle has an emissions-related issue that will cause it to fail an emissions test. We still recommend testing the vehicle before making repairs as you will receive impartial information and important resources to guide you through the repair process. Additionally, with a failing emissions test you may be eligible for a 30 day temporary permit if you need more time to make repairs. If you have other questions the Clean Air Car Check customer service hotline is open Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm at 1-888-240-1684.
