How do I know if I need an eCheck?
All gasoline- and diesel-fueled vehicles, including flexible fuel and hybrid vehicles, equal to or less than 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), 25 years old or newer from the current testing year, and registered in an E-Check county must comply with E-Check.
What happens if a car does not pass the e check test?
The pollutants detected by the E-Check test are odorless, nearly colorless and therefore, undetectable by the naked eye. If a vehicle does not pass the E-Check test, the vehicle is not operating “cleanly” with regard to the harmful emissions.
What happens if you don’t have an e-check in Ohio?
E-Check county residents who do not comply with E-Check requirements are subject to registration suspension and confiscation per Ohio Revised Code (ORC) section 4503.103 (D). Click here for detailed information.
Are there any e-check stations that are closing?
E-Check Station Closings: In the event of extended power outages or extreme winter weather/snow storms, please click here for possible station closings/updates. At the time it was implemented, E-Check used the I/M 240 test, a 240-second transient test during which a vehicle is driven on a dyne (treadmill) and its tailpipe emissions are measured.
When does a title have to be tested by e-check?
Whenever a vehicle’s title transfers to another individual within one of the seven E-Check counties and that vehicle’s emissions test has expired, the vehicle must be tested. Vehicles within the four year exemption period do not test on a title transfer.
