I live i metro Atlanta and required to pass emission test. I have gone to 7 different stations and they all said the my car computer will not synch with the emission test computer. They cannot administer a test. How do I get a tag.

Hello and thanks for donating


Does your cigar lighter(s) work in the vehicle? If not, it's a good sign that the fuse to the diagnostic link connector (DLC) that the emission testers use has failed, as it is the same fuse that the cigar lighter uses.
