Who is required to Have a Smog Test? According to the California DMV:
In California, vehicles must undergo a biennial smog inspection in order to renew your registration. New residents to California will be required to have an initial inspection to register, even if you have a current certificate from your previous state.
Why? The CA DMV employs a biennial smog certification program;
meaning, your qualifying vehicle must undergo a smog check every 2 years. Your registration renewal reminder should indicate whether it’s time for your smog inspection.
Smog inspections consist of a visual test and a machine test.
During the visual test, the inspector will check for any blue or black smoke emitting from the tailpipe. As long as there is no blue or black exhaust, the vehicle passes this part of the exam.
During the machine test, the inspector will attach vehicle components to a smog check machine and run the test for certain codes. If the vehicle components pass each code, the vehicle passes this part of the exam.
