The fleet agent must also pass an examination on the rules governing the day-to-day operation of the fleet station. 5. The fleet must employ a licensed emissions inspector to perform inspections of fleet owned vehicles. The licensed inspector must be certified to inspect for the types of vehicles owned or leased by the fleet (the fleet agent and inspector can be the same person). 6. The applicant or employee(s) must own or lease equipment necessary to perform all aspects of the required inspections. 7. The applicant must agree to provide data to the Department as prescribed by the Director. B. Fleet Permit Suspension or Revocation: Fleet station permits do not expire. However, the fleet permit can be suspended or revoked if the fleet owner or employees: 1. Violate any provision of Arizona Revised Statute Title 49, Chapter 3, Article 5 or Arizona Administrative Code Title 18, Chapter 2, Article 10; 2. Misrepresent material facts in obtaining a fleet permit; 3. Fail to make, keep and submit pertinent records to the Department; 4. Fail to provide a state inspector access to the information required by law. C. Types of Fleet Permits and Emissions Inspection Equipment Requirements:
1
Fleet permits are issued to a fleet service shop for the inspection of specific vehicles by class. The following are the types of permits issued and the equipment requirements for each: 1. Motorcycles and constant four-wheel drive vehicles (including vehicles equipped with traction control that cannot be disabled) require the following equipment to perform a curb idle test: � � � A non-dispersive infra-red CO and HC emissions analyzer that is equipped with a water trap in the sampling line capable of taking undiluted exhaust samples from the vehicle exhaust system; Pressure test equipment for the functional gas cap test capable of determining that gas cap leakage does not exceed 60cc per minute at 30 inches of water gauge (not required for motorcycles at this time); An ignition-operated tachometer.

General Fleet Station Requirements: The following requirements apply to all fleet stations: 1. The fleet permit along with licenses of agents and inspectors employed by the fleet must be prominently displayed within the facility. 2. Whenever an inspector starts or ends employment with a dealer fleet, the fleet station must notify the Department in writing within 7-days of the change in employment status. (Written notification can be done by mail however, the preferred method is E-mail or Fax to 602 207-7020). The written notification must include; the name and license number of the vehicle emissions inspector; a statement declaring the employment change; the effective date of the employment change. If the fleet=s only licensed inspector leaves the employment of the fleet station the fleet must; immediately cease operating as a fleet inspection station; immediately notify the Department by phone of the change in employment status; within 7-days, notify the Department in writing and surrender all unused certificates of inspection to the Department for a refund. 3. Whenever a fleet agent is hired, terminated or resigns, the fleet owner must do the following, when applicable: a. When a fleet agent is hired, the fleet must notify the Department within 7-days of the designation of a new fleet agent. This will require the fleet owner to submit a completed "Fleet Agent Designation" form (see attachment). b. When a fleet agent is terminated or resigns, and there is no qualified individual to assume the responsibility of day to day operations, the fleet must; immediately cease operations as a fleet station; immediately notify the Department by phone; notify the Department in writing within 7-days of the change in employment status. c. When a fleet agent is terminated or resigns, and there is a qualified individual (someone who has passed the fleet agent/inspector exam) to assume the responsibility of day-to-day operations, the fleet must notify the Department within 7-days of the designation of a new fleet agent. This will require the fleet owner to submit a completed "Fleet Agent Designation" form (see attachment). 4. The fleet permit is only applicable to the fleet=s inspection facility located at the address on the permit. Additional facilities will require separate permits. A permitted facility 3
that changes its name or address, but retains the same fleet ownership, is required to return the permit to the Department and submit a new permit application. The Department will cancel the returned permit and issue a new permit with the updated information. 5. A duplicate permit for one that has been lost, destroyed or mutilated may be obtained by providing a letter of explanation and request for replacement (include damaged permit, if applicable). If a duplicate permit is issued and the lost permit is later located, the dealer fleet station must immediately return the original to the Department.

These licenses are designated as follows: "A" Fleet Agent "CF" Non-Diesel Vehicle Inspector "FD" Diesel Vehicle Inspector "CFD" Non-Diesel and Diesel Vehicle Inspector To obtain a license, the applicant must take and pass the appropriate examination(s) relating to the inspector license. Applicants must pass all tests with a minimum correct score of 80 percent. 1. "A" License requires the applicant to pass the Fleet agent/inspector examination (25 questions) 2. "CF" License requires the applicant to pass the following tests: � Certified technician examination (75 questions) � Fleet agent/inspector examination (25 questions) � Non-diesel inspector examination (25 Questions) 3. "FD" License requires the applicant to pass the following tests: � Fleet agent/inspector examination (25 questions) � Diesel inspector examination (25 questions) 4. "CFD" License requires the applicant to pass the following tests: � Certified technician examination (75 questions) � Fleet agent/inspector examination (25 questions) � Non-diesel inspector examination (25 questions) � Diesel inspector examination (25 questions) B. Testing options: 1. Attending the Two-Day Fleet Certification Class: Twice each month, the Department holds a 2-day certification class at the Vehicle Emissions Office (600 North 40th Street, Phoenix). The class curriculum covers basic emission control systems, theory and diagnosis, as well as applicable fleet station laws and regulations. If you have not attended a class in the last couple of years, it may be beneficial to do so as you may not be aware of some of the latest program changes. The class is not recommended for applicants seeking the "A" or "FD" license. Applicants
5
planning to attend the class should register 30-days in advance to ensure seating availability. Upon completion of the fleet certification class, applicants should be able to pass all examinations. To register, call our office at (602) 207-7000. 2. Challenging the Test: The Department allows for applicants to challenge the tests and bypass the two-day fleet certification class. Tests can be challenged every Friday (excluding holidays) between 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. at the Vehicle Emissions Office (600 North 40th Street, Phoenix). Testing by appointment is available; please call our office at (602) 207-7000. If an applicant fails the certified technician examination, the applicant is required to attend the fleet certification class before retaking the examination. 3. Inspector License Renewal and Expiration: To retain the current license expiration date, the inspector must renew the license within 30-days before the expiration date. If the license is allowed to expire, the license expiration will be changed to one year from the date the inspector passed the required examinations. C. Change of Employment Status Inspector and Agent Notification Requirements: A vehicle emissions inspector is required to notify the Department of any change in employment status due to hiring, retirement, resignation, or termination within 7-days of such a change. Please call (602) 207-7000. In addition, the fleet owner or agent is required to notify the Department in writing within 7-days. Written notification may be faxed to (602) 207-7020; e-mailed to Osborne.Adrion@azdeq.gov; or sent by mail to 600 North 40th Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85008. The burden of notifying the Department if a fleet agent is hired, retires, resigns or is terminated falls solely on the fleet owner. The fleet agent is not required to notify the Department. D. Inspector License Revocation The Department may suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew a license if the licensee has violated any provision of Arizona Revised Statutes Title 49, Chapter 3, Article 5, or Arizona Administrative Code Title 18, Chapter 2, Article 10. In addition, an inspector license may be suspended, revoked, or refused to be renewed if the inspector fails to demonstrate proficiency to the Department regarding vehicle emissions inspection procedures.

Section V
Time of Inspection, Required Inspections, & Inspection Procedures
Government vehicles, unless exempt (see Section VII), require inspection annually. If not exempt, inspections are required within 12-months after acquisition. Vehicles that are no longer eligible for the new vehicle exemptions must be tested within 90-days following the anniversary of their date of acquisition. Annual inspections thereafter are required during or before the anniversary month of the last inspection. Privately owned vehicles (fleet shop) require inspection annually. Unless exempt under the new vehicle exemptions, inspection are required at least once within each 12 month period following registration. For the inspections required for specific vehicles by class, see appendix Following are detailed procedures for each type of inspection/test that is required: A. Curb Idle Test: The curb idle test measures the exhaust emissions with the vehicle stopped and the engine idling at manufactures specification " 100 RPM. � � Vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission are tested in drive with foot brake applied Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission are tested in neutral with foot brake applied
To perform the curb idle test, insert the exhaust sample probe 8 to12 inches into the exhaust pipe. Record the HC and CO readings after the readings have stabilized or at the end of 90 seconds, whichever occurs first. For all motorcycles/constant 4wd/undefeatable traction system vehicles record the HC and CO readings after the readings have stabilized or at the end of 30 seconds, whichever occurs first. If any vehicle is equipped with multiple exhaust pipes and the analyzer is not capable of sampling multiple pipes the test must be performed separately on each exhaust pipe. Record the HC and CO readings for each exhaust pipe and obtain an average. Compare the average results to the maximum allowable. If the vehicle's emissions are above the standard, the engine may be preconditioned by operating it at 2500 rpm " 300 RPM for up to a maximum of 30 seconds. After preconditioning, return the engine speed to curb idle and perform a second idle test. If the emissions levels are below the standard, the vehicle passes the curb idle test. If the vehicle=s emissions levels still exceed the maximum allowable, the vehicle fails inspection and repairs are required.
10
B. Curb Idle/Steady State Loaded Cruise Test: When performing the curb idle portion of the test, the vehicle's transmission must be in neutral with the foot brake applied, regardless of transmission type. To perform the curb idle test, insert the exhaust sample probe 8 to 12 inches into the exhaust pipe. Record the HC and CO readings after the readings have stabilized or at the end of 90 seconds, whichever occurs first. If the vehicle's emissions are above the standard, the test may be performed again after the loaded cruise test. The loaded cruise test measures the exhaust emissions while the vehicle is driven on a dynamometer with a load applied to the drive tires. The exhaust probe must be inserted 8 to 12 inches into the exhaust pipe. If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, the appropriate gear for this test is "Drive" (Do not use "Overdrive"). For vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, select the appropriate gear for speed and load. Use the chart below to determine the appropriate speed and load. Accelerate until the proper MPH is achieved and hold the speed steady. Apply a load using the dynamometer. Record the HC and CO readings once they have stabilized or at the end of 90 seconds, whichever occurs first. If any vehicle is equipped with multiple exhaust pipes and the analyzer is not capable of sampling multiple pipes the test must be performed separately on each exhaust pipe. Record the HC and CO readings for each exhaust pipe and obtain an average. Compare the average results to the maximum allowable. Loaded Cruise Test Dynamometer Loading Table GVWR 8500 or less 8500 or less 8500 or less 8501 or more Number of Cyl=s 4 Cyl. or less 5 or 6 Cyl. 8 or more All Speed (MPH) 22 to 25 29 to 32 32 to 35 37 to 40 Load (HP) 2.8 to 4.1 6.4 to 8.4 8.4 to 10.8 12.7 to 15.8
C. Onboard Diagnostic (OBD) Test: The OBD test interrogates the vehicle=s computer system to determine emissions compliance and does not include exhaust sampling. The test consists of verifying the operation of the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL); confirming that the appropriate readiness monitors are set; visually inspecting the diagnostic link connector (DLC); determining if the MIL is commanded "ON"; recording diagnostic trouble codes (DTC).
11
The process is as follows: 1. Turn the ignition to "Key On Engine Off" (KOEO) and observe the MIL; the MIL must be lit. This portion of the test verifies MIL operation and is commonly known as the Abulb check.@ On = pass, Proceed to Step 2; Off = fail, perform necessary repairs and reinspect. 2. Locate DLC and inspect for tampering (missing, loose, or damaged). If the vehicle fails the DLC tampering inspection, do not proceed, perform repairs as needed. Passing DLC, proceed to Step 3. 3. Connect approved scan tool to DLC. Turn ignition to "Key On Engine Running" (KOER) and observe the MIL. The MIL should light and then go out during this phase. If the MIL stays on; the vehicle fails, perform repairs and re-inspect. If the MIL stays off the vehicle is a pass. Proceed to Step 4 4. With the scan tool in the generic OBD mode, follow the scan tool manufacturer=s instructions to determine the following: � Readiness Monitor Status: 1996 through 2000 model year vehicles are allowed two or fewer unset readiness monitors for a valid test. 2001 and newer model year vehicles are allowed one or less unset readiness monitors for a valid test. If monitor requirements are not met, the vehicle must be driven through a drive cycle until required monitors are set. Observe the MIL status command to determine if the vehicle computer is commanding the MIL to be on or off. MIL commanded off = pass, Proceed to Step 5. MIL commanded on = fail, repair and re-inspect.
�
5. Perform the functional gas cap test as explained in Section V "Fleet Test Procedures (F). 6. After the vehicle passes all steps of the OBD and functional gas cap inspection, record information on Fleet Vehicle Inspection Report/Monthly Summary and complete the Certificate of Inspection. D. Transient Loaded Test/Evaporative System Pressure Test: The transient loaded test (IM147) test measures the vehicle exhaust emissions during a specific drive cycle and calculates mass emissions in grams per mile. Due to the complexity and expense associated with obtaining and maintaining the required equipment, there are currently no facilities in Arizona that have a fleet permit to perform IM 147 testing. For information about the procedures and requirements for this test, go to http://www.epa.gov/otaq/epg/techguid.htm.
12
E. Visual Gas Cap Inspection: The visual gas cap inspection consists of verifying that the vehicle has a properly fitting gas cap. The visual inspection is performed on vehicles that were manufactured without evaporative control systems. This includes most 1970 and older vehicles, and many 1984 and older federal heavy-duty trucks. These vehicles were designed to vent fuel tank vapors into the atmosphere. Many 1970 and newer heavy-duty vehicles certified to meet California emission requirements were equipped with evaporative control systems and are subject to a functional gas cap test. F. Functional Gas Cap Test: The functional gas cap test determines if the gas cap properly seals, preventing fuel vapor (hydrocarbons) from escaping into the atmosphere. This test consists of attaching the gas cap to a testing unit that applies pressure and monitors air flow or leakage. Maximum allowable leakage is 60 cubic centimeters per minute at 30 inches of water. If the vehicle fails the functional gas cap test, a complete re-inspection is required. A faulty gas cap can cause the evaporative system to malfunction, which may affect emissions. G. Equipment Tampering: The tampering inspection is based on the original configuration of the vehicle as manufactured and consists of the following: 1. A visual inspection to determine the presence and proper installation of each required Catalytic Converter (if applicable as manufactured); 2. An examination to determine the presence of an operational air injection system (if applicable as manufactured); 3. A visual inspection to determine the presence of an operational positive crankcase ventilation system and evaporative control system (if applicable as manufactured); The above components shall be verified by referring to "VEHICLE EMISSIONS CONTROL INFORMATION" label. The label on many older vehicles may be damaged, missing or unreadable. Refer to an emissions control application guide.
13
H. Diesel Steady State Loaded Mode Test: The steady state loaded test measures the opacity of the diesel's exhaust emissions with the vehicle driven on a dynamometer. A load is applied to the drive tires. When using a partial flow opacity meter, follow the manufacturer=s instructions and connect the meter to the exhaust pipe. When using a full flow opacity meter, center the read head perpendicular to the exhaust pipe. The read head must be no further away from the exhaust pipe than the diameter of the pipe. Accelerate the vehicle and apply load until the proper speed and load is reached (see chart below). The exhaust must be sampled for a period of ten consecutive seconds. If the vehicle has multiple exhaust pipes, test each pipe and record the results of the pipe emitting the highest opacity readings. Compare the results to the maximum allowable of 20 percent. Loaded Opacity Test Dynamometer Loading Table GVWR 4,000 or less 4,001 to 8,500 Speed (MPH) 30 50 Load (HP) 7.4 " 1 HP (6.4 to 8.4) 30 " 2 HP (28 to 32)
I. Diesel Onboard Diagnostic (OBD) Test: The OBD test interrogates the vehicle=s computer system to determine emissions compliance and will not include exhaust sampling. The test is performed the same on a diesel vehicle, as a non-diesel vehicle. Follow the same procedure as outlined in Section V "Fleet Test Procedures (C). J. Diesel Snap-Acceleration Test (SAE J1667): 1. Before testing, the following must be verified: � � � � � � � The vehicle is safe to test; The governor is operating; The engine is at normal operating temperature; No unusual noises, smoke or other conditions exist that could affect the accuracy of the test or indicate damage to the engine; The engine brake is disabled; The spring brake is deactivated. (On some vehicles, activating the spring brake disables the engine puff limiter which can increase opacity readings); To prevent vehicle movement, the wheels should also be chocked.
2. Inspection process: � Measure and record the exhaust pipe or stack diameter. Record the ambient temperature, relative humidity and barometric pressure if the opacity meter does not record the information automatically. The information will be used to correct the opacity results.
14
� � �
Perform three clean-out snap accelerations to remove any loose soot that may have accumulated in the vehicle=s exhaust system. Within two minutes of performing the clean-out snap accelerations, begin the three official snap accelerations using the same steps as used for clean-out. Snap accelerations are performed by: a. Quickly depress the accelerator pedal to the wide open throttle position until the engine reaches the maximum governed speed and hold it there for one to four seconds. b. Release the pedal and allow the engine to return to idle speed for a minimum of five, but no longer than 45 seconds before starting the next clean-out snap acceleration. c. If the vehicle is equipped with multiple exhaust pipes, visually compare the smoke levels and determine which has the highest visual opacity. Once determined, perform the test on that pipe.
3. Test Validation: The snap acceleration test must be validated using the following criteria: � � After completion of all snap accelerations, the opacity meter is removed from the exhaust pipe or stack and the meter must read to within 2 percent opacity of zero. The mathematical difference between the high and low opacity results from the three snap-acceleration test cycles must be within 5 percent opacity of each other (see examples below). Invalid Test (difference 10%) First snap test opacity result - 35% Second snap test opacity result - 41% Third snap test opacity result - 45%
Valid Test (difference 1%) First snap test opacity result - 40% Second snap test opacity result - 41% Third snap test opacity result - 40%
Most opacity meters will perform this step and notify the operator of the results automatically. For additional information, consult the opacity meter user manual. 4. Correction of Test Results for Ambient Conditions: The opacity reading must be corrected for ambient conditions such as air temperature, relative humidity and barometric pressure. The Red Mountain opacity meter performs this function automatically for the operator. In addition, some Cal-Test units will perform this function for correction if the operator provides the ambient conditions. The Wager and Bosch units only provide the operator with the opacity reading which must be corrected with the formula specified in SAE J1667. A copy of SAE J1667 is on file with the Arizona Secretary of State and may be purchased from SAE on-line at www.sae.org.
15
5. Compare the Test Results to the Maximum Allowable Standards: When testing is complete, compare the results to the maximum allowable. The maximum allowable emissions standard for 1990 and older engines is 55% opacity. The maximum allowable emissions standard for 1991 and newer engines is 40% opacity. The engine year is determined by the emissions control label. If the emission control label is missing, illegible, or incorrect, the test standard shall be 40%, unless a correct, legible, emissions control label replacement is attached to the vehicle within 30-days of the inspection. K. Diesel Visual Fuel Cap Inspection: Verify the vehicle has a properly fitting cap. L. Diesel Equipment Tampering: The diesel tampering inspection is based on the original configuration of the vehicle as manufactured and consists of the following: 1. A visual inspection to determine the presence and proper installation of each required Catalytic converter (if applicable as manufactured); 2. A visual inspection to determine the presence of an operational positive crankcase ventilation system (if applicable as manufactured); 3. The above components shall be verified by referring to the "VEHICLE EMISSIONS CONTROL INFORMATION" label. M. Special Requirements for Heavy-Duty Diesel Powered Vehicles: As of January 1, 2004, a diesel powered vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of more than 26,000 lbs., and for which gross weight fees are paid, are not allowed to operate in area "A" unless the engine meets or exceeds 1988 EPA or CARB standards. Certificates of inspection shall not be issued to these vehicles. Vehicles operated by religious institutions, school districts, and municipalities are exempt. The owner of a vehicle listed above should contact the engine manufacturer to see whether the engine meets the applied standards. If the manufacturer finds that the engine meets the standards, the manufacturer can provide a letter stating such which can be sent to the Department. If the manufacturer is unable to provide the required endorsement, the owner may request one from a local dealer or manager of a certified workshop that is familiar with EPA=s engine standards for 1988 and newer engines. Phone numbers and web sites for engine manufacturers are listed in attachment, Diesel Manufacturer Website. An inspection can be performed and a Certificate of Inspection issued after the engine complies with the EPA or CARB standards and has been documented.

Section VI
Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Requirements
A. Definition of Alternative Fuels 1. Alternative Fuels and fuel codes are defined as follows: � � � � (L) Liquified petroleum gas (LPG or Propane) (C) Compressed natural gas/liquified natural gas (M) 70/30 minimum blend of alternative fuel and petroleum based fuel (except alcohol) (A) Alcohol if used in a vehicle prior to August 21, 1998. After that, alcohol is no longer recognized as an alternative fuel by the State of Arizona. This includes M85 and E85 Flex Fuel vehicles
2. Bi-fuel AFV means a vehicle that is capable of operating on an alternative fuel and gasoline 3. Dedicated AFV means a vehicle that solely operates on an alternative fuel. B. Testing Requirements for Alternative Fuel Vehicles: 1. Vehicles that are powered by alternative fuels are eligible for a current model year plus two previous year exemption. (Note, this is more restrictive than the current plus four model year exemption) AFV's must be inspected in the following manner: � � � � � � � � 1967 through 1980 model year vehicles must receive and pass a loaded cruise and idle emissions test. 1981 through 1995 model year vehicles (8,500 GVWR or less) must receive and pass a transient loaded test. 1981 through 1995 model year vehicles (8,501 GVWR and greater) must receive and pass a loaded cruise and idle emissions test. 1996 and newer model year vehicles (8,500 GVWR or less) must receive and pass an Onboard Diagnostic test, or transient loaded test if bi-fuel. 1996 and newer model year vehicles (8,501 GVWR and greater) must receive and pass a loaded cruise and idle emissions test. All diesel vehicles (8,500 GVWR or less) must receive and pass a loaded opacity test. All diesel vehicles (8,501 GVWR and greater) must receive and pass a (J1667) Snapacceleration opacity test. All non-diesel vehicles of a school district must receive and pass a loaded cruise and idle emissions test
17
2. Bi-fuel alternative fuel vehicles must receive the appropriate test on each fuel independently. If a vehicle fails on one or both fuels, a complete re-inspection on each fuel must be performed. 3. An inspection of an AFV vehicle operating on compressed natural gas or liquified natural gas requires the use of a correction factor of 0.61, to calculate the true hydrocarbon (HC) readings, when using an NDIR analyzer. The HC exhaust emissions must be multiplied by 0.61. Example: The HC emissions reading during the exhaust pipe emissions inspection is 200 ppm; the HC emissions recorded on the Fleet Vehicle Inspection Report/Monthly Summary would be 122 ppm, (200 X 0.61 = 122).
