Agree. I can not quite read the numbers in the picture of the chart.
But, it seems to do with the effectiveness of the catalyctic converter/s!
Way back when, my Jeep just barely failed with a "fail" in just one of them. At the right margin.
Cat replaced. Passed. I should've known, it was "noisy"!!!
And, yes, making sure the cat/s are hot is essential. I do a freeway run in "OD out" mode or D2 to make sure.
Durn, I gotta do it again...
PS. Do some research. A check with BAR? My neighbor bought a nice
Dodge Ram pickup "cheap". SMOG flunked. Owner not wanting to mess with it further. Too many Daddy $'s.
A "friendly" SMOG tech told him that it was possible to get an overall
pass on a vintage car with a one box "fail". The truck is late 90's? Result, I don't know.
