Official PENNDOT On-Board-Diagnostics (OBD) Analyzer Bulletin - June 2003.

Recently, PENNDOT announced details of the settlement resulting from two lawsuits concerning emissions testing in 16 additional counties. Also included in the announcement were the details of the transition to OBD testing in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh regions.

In light of this announcement, PENNDOT is stressing to existing and potential emissions stations that no OBD equipment has been certified. PENNDOT will provide each station with a list of equipment providers that have successfully completed the certification process.

PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE ANY OBD EQUIPMENT UNTIL YOU RECEIVE THE LIST OF CERTIFIED VENDORS FROM PENNDOT.

At this time, seven Equipment Providers have expressed an interest in participating in the Pennsylvania OBD program and will be submitting their equipment for certification. For more information on the program please call the Station Operator Hot Line at 1-888-265-5909.
