OBDII Certification Exam

All inspectors must pass a mandatory OBDII certification exam prior to inspecting OBDII vehicles in the NYVIP. The exam is only accessible through the NYVIP system in each station. The inspector must take the 25-question exam and pass with a score of 80%.

Inspectors that successfully pass the exam will be authorized to begin conducting official OBDII inspections.
