Provides that the owner of a vehicle that fails to meet the standard for the complete on-board computer diagnostic test must be informed that he or she has the option to have the vehicle tested using the less stringent loaded mode exhaust gas analysis or the idle exhaust gas analysis, as appropriate, for one test cycle. Provides that the on-board computer diagnostic test is not required for vehicles with known on-board diagnostic communications or software problems, as determined by the IEPA. Provides that by April 15, 2003, the IEPA shall submit to the General Assembly a report detailing the effectiveness of the use of the on-board computer diagnostic test.
