The report details that upon scanning a vehicle with WiTech 2, PDTCs may be found, leading to a failed smog test. A software update is anticipated in the first quarter of 2021 to resolve this. The document clarifies that Smog Check Inspection equipment will disregard PDTCs if the vehicle has undergone at least 15 warm-up cycles and been driven a minimum of 200 miles since its OBD information was last cleared, a measure designed to minimize customer inconvenience. A warm-up cycle is precisely defined as the engine coolant temperature increasing by at least 40°F (4.44°C) after engine start, reaching a minimum operating temperature of 160°F (71.1°C). For additional support, users are advised to open a STAR Center ticket and reference the provided SOL number for further assistance.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/smog-check-vehicle-inspection-report-vir-fails-because-of-permanent-diagnostic-trouble-codes-pdtc/269331/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/smog-check-vehicle-inspection-report-vir-fails-because-of-permanent-diagnostic-trouble-codes-pdtc/269331.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Oliver","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-18","2026-09-15",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",11,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"Why might a vehicle fail its Smog Check VIR?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"A vehicle may fail its Smog Check VIR if it has Permanent Diagnostic Trouble Codes (PDTCs).

Upon scanning the vehicle for DTC’s using WiTech 2 you may find permanent diagnostic trouble codes or PDTC’s.  \nRepair: Engineering is working on a software update with an anticipated release date within the 1st quarter of 2021.  \nNote: The Smog Check Inspection equipment will ignore the PDTC’s if the vehicle has completed at least 15 warm-up cycles and has been driven at least 200 miles since it’s OBD information was last cleared. These limits were put in place to prevent undue customer inconvenience when trying to comply with smog testing. This information is viewable in the Emissions section of wiTech.  \nA warm-up cycle is defined as the engine coolant temperature rising by at least 40°F (4 .44°C) after the engine has started and reaches a minimum operating temperature of 160°F (71 . 1°C) .  \nShould further assistance be needed, a STAR Center ticket can be opened and this SOL number referenced.","cbCaiaPnxjThBDvx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaPnxjThBDvx","pdf",200806,"English","# Vehicle Inspection Report - PDTC Issue\n## Discussion\n## Repair\n## Note","[{\"question\":\"Why might a vehicle fail its Smog Check VIR?\",\"answer\":\"A vehicle may fail its Smog Check VIR if it has Permanent Diagnostic Trouble Codes (PDTCs).
