Oregon DEQ for PDX and Medford
Tim,
Oh sure, make me work here. Since I was also curious in light of the DP issue: Here's the DEQ page re. the tests in PDX Metro and Medford regions. There is also a PDF about the On Board Diagnostics that is worth a read regarding OBD for newer cars: - "For 1996-2000 model year vehicles, if more than two components are detected by DEQ as “not ready”, the vehicle will fail the test. All 2001 model year and newer vehicles will fail if more than one component is “not ready”. Also if a vehicle fails for a catalyst or evaporative code, these emission system components will be required to be at “Ready” status to pass the test. Other conditions may prevent your vehicle from passing the emissions test." It would appear that catted DPs might be the way to go. Information you need if your vehicle does not pass the Clean Air Test
