Most vehicles with onboard diagnostic (OBD) systems will require testing twice a year in 2024 and 2025,increasing to four times annually starting in 2027.
Vehicles without OBD systems will continue with opacity testing (smoke test) twice a year, with an added visual inspection component.

Schedule Emissions Testing (Starting Mid-2024): Testing deadlines will be based on your DMV registration expiration date (CA vehicles) or the last digit of your VIN (out-of-state vehicles). Refer to CARB's guidance document for details.
