If your vehicle is a 1996 or newer and registered in an emissions county, it requires a safety inspection only. If your vehicle is a 1995 or older and registered in one of the original nine emissions counties, (WAKE, FORSYTH, GUILFORD, DURHAM, GASTON, CABARRUS, MECKLENBURG, ORANGE or UNION), it requires an emission/safety inspection. The 1996 and newer vehicles that fall into this category are excluded from OBD testing because they are not equipped with the components necessary to perform an OBD inspection.
