The car parts test can be a helpful tool in detecting problems with your vehicle before they become a serious issue. It can help you save money on costly repairs and could even prevent a serious crash.
How a Car Parts Test Works
A car parts test is a process in which your vehicle’s on-board computer system is scanned for errors or malfunctions that might be affecting its function. These tests are often performed with mechanics or dealerships, but they can also be done at home if you have the necessary tools and expertise.
How a Parts Test is Done
If you’re taking your car in for an emissions test, your technician will check the air filter, fuel system and other components that affect emissions performance. These components are required to be tested to ensure that they don’t unacceptably increase pollution.
The EPA and California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulate emissions-related aftermarket equipment that is sold into the state, as well as any modifications to a vehicle’s emissions control system. To comply, these components must be tested and certified.
Using advanced techniques and materials, SATRA can test the flammability of a variety of motor vehicle components that are at risk of fire if exposed to a high ignition source. These include seat upholstery, headlining and trim panels, as well as floor coverings.
