On-Board Diagnostic (OBDII) System:

The OBDII emissions inspection in New Hampshire is a mandatory component of the state’s vehicle safety inspection program for most gasoline-powered vehicles from 1996 and newer. During the inspection, a diagnostic scanner is used to retrieve emissions-related data from the vehicle’s onboard computer system. This includes checking for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and monitoring the status of readiness monitors, which ensure the proper functioning of emissions control systems. Vehicles that pass the inspection demonstrate compliance with emissions standards, contributing to reduced air pollution and environmental health. If a vehicle fails the inspection, repairs are required to address identified issues, followed by a reinspection to ensure compliance. While some exemptions apply for specific vehicle types, the OBDII emissions inspection plays a crucial role in promoting cleaner air and vehicle safety on New Hampshire’s roads.


These inspections are conducted annually or biennially, depending on the vehicle’s age and type. Compliance with these requirements ensures that vehicles on New Hampshire roads meet safety and environmental standards, promoting road safety and reducing air pollution.
