🔧 What Happens During a VEIP Inspection at Ultra Service Center?

1. OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostics) Scan
   
   
   • A technician connects a diagnostic tool to your vehicle’s computer system to read emissions-related data and fault codes.
     
     
2. Readiness & Fault Code Check
   
   
   • The scan checks that the system is ready and free of emission-related trouble codes. If codes are present, your car may fail.
     
     
3. Tailpipe Emissions Test (if required)
   
   
   • For certain older vehicles or those without onboard diagnostics, a tailpipe probe may be used to directly measure exhaust gases.
     
     
4. Visual Inspection
   
   
   • Inspectors check for missing or disconnected components like the catalytic converter, gas cap, and hoses.
