#5 of 6 Emissions trouble by kitty16 Mar 10, 2009 (4:42 am)
I have a 2001 GMC Jimmy 4X4, it sat in my mother in laws yard from October 2008 to March 1, 2009. I had to repair a few things before I could drive it. My husband took my Jimmy to have the emissions tested but it would not register when they hooked it up. What should I do? Replies to this message: jlflemmons (Mar 10, 2009 6:29 am)

Replying to: kitty16 (Mar 10, 2009 4:42 am) First off, do not assume the problem is with your car. We just had the same issue on a Saturn that the inspection station claimed could not be "read". Take the vehicle to Autozone, or to anyone you know with an OBDII code reader and see if they can read it. If the vehicle is running good, no CEL/SES light on, chances are that everything is okay and the inspection station needs to check out their equipment. There is a small chance that something ate some wires or such, damaging the data link to the diagnostic connector, but I would try getting the system read by another source before going down that road.
