About the New California Program
The State of California, Bureau of Automotive Repair is requiring several changes to the California Smog Check Program:
- All 2000 and newer model year vehicles will be subject to the new OBD DAD inspection.
Only 1999 and older model year vehicles will still be subject to the standard ASM emissions inspection.
- All BAR Certified Inspection Stations will be required to purchase an OBD DAD from one of the Certified OBD DAD Vendors
- The OBD DAD Inspection will be operated as web service via the BAROIS, so internet connection will be required throughout the entirety of each inspection
