3.6.9 Emission Test Selection

a) If an appropriate ESC category in TABLE4 is not available, the EIS shall automatically go to the two-speed idle test sequence. The default test in enhanced areas for all vehicles with an appropriate ESC category in TABLE4 shall be the ASM test. If a match was found, the test type to be used will be sent down by the VID. If the VID sends a TSI- requirement, the EIS shall perform a TSI test regardless of the vehicle type. The EIS shall not be able to override a TSI requirement from the VID. If the VID sends an ASM requirement, the EIS may override the ASM test based on the GVWR or drive train configuration (for example: an appropriate ESC category in TABLE4 is not available or nondisengagable all wheel drive.) Note: All inspections in enhanced area without communication to the VID shall default to ASM test except for vehicles without an appropriate ESC category in TABLE4. All inspections in basic area without communication to the VID shall default to TSI test (i.e. units configured without a dynamometer and NOx measuring device). See §3.6.6 o) for "Receive Required Test Type."

An entry shall be made in the Test Cycle field of the test record indicating test performed (A = ASM and T = two-speed idle). The EIS shall display the following prompt:

However, the EIS shall create a record and store test data up to the point where the "Escape" key has been pressed and shall transmit the test record to the VID during the next required communication session (i.e. next Smog Check, data file refresh, etc.). Do not make an "end of test call" to the VID. If the inspection is aborted during the tailpipe emissions testing, the EIS shall print "Invalid" next to the emission readings (HC, CO, NO) on the VIR and record "A" in the Overall Test Result field of the test record.

b) Drive Configuration Routine
The EIS shall have a drive configuration routine that can be activated/deactivated by the VID.

When deactivated, AWD vehicles (including full-time 4WD and non-disengageable traction control) shall receive an ASM inspection except in the case of a "M" (maybe) VLT entry. In this case abort the ASM test. (see §3.6.12.2).

When activated, the EIS shall use the VLT to determine test type, and if applicable, the previous test record). The VLT entry for Single Axle Dyno Capability field will be N for AWD, Y for two-wheel drive, and M for maybe. The following table shows how test type shall be determined by the EIS based on the VLT entry:

VLT Entry Y (Yes) = 2WD N (No) = AWD M (Maybe)
Inspection Type: ASM TSI Display Prompt

1. If the VLT entry is M, the EIS shall display the following prompt:

3) The technician shall be given the opportunity to select another RPM pick-up device and continue with the current inspection (without causing test to abort), if the engine RPM is not detected.

4) RPM shall be displayed during the emissions test. Instability shall be immediately detected and displayed on the screen.

DISPLAY PROMPT:

UNSTABLE RPM SIGNAL - - CHECK OR CHANGE PICK UP

5) A stable RPM signal is required to complete the emissions test. Manufacturers may propose an error tolerance factor to be used when testing vehicles with unstable RPM signal.

6) For other RPM pick-up device, the EIS manufacturer may develop a unique engine RPM pick-up. If the EIS manufacturer provides this option, a written explanation/procedure regarding this option must be submitted to BAR for approval.


3.6.12 ASM (Loaded-Mode) Emissions Testing Sequence

a) General Procedure for Both ASM5015 and 2525 Test Modes:

1. Safety Checks: The EIS shall prompt the technician to perform any equipment manufacturer-required safety checks.

2. Auxiliary Rolls: The EIS shall prompt the technician to determine if the vehicle being tested requires auxiliary rolls.

DISPLAY PROMPT:

IS THE VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH AWD OR FULL-TIME 4-WHEEL DRIVE OR NON-DISENGAGEABLE TRACTION CONTROL? (YES/NO)

Programming Criteria:

1) If YES and according to the information stored in the station information that the emissions inspection system is not equipped with an AWD dynamometer, then the prompt shall read:

DO NOT INSPECT -- REFER THE VEHICLE TO A STATION WITH AN AWD DYNO.

2) If YES and the dynamometer is an AWD dynamometer, then the EIS shall engage, or if manual, prompt the technician to engage the auxiliary rolls.

3) If NO, the EIS shall proceed with a 2WD dyno configuration.

3. Drive Axle Weight Measurement and Vehicle Alignment: The measured drive axle weight will be used to calculate the vehicle loading (the effect of tire loss and the amount of horsepower to be applied based on vehicle test weight) and to determine the appropriate emission standard category. The EIS shall prompt the technician to capture the drive axle weight of the test vehicle and shall display the following message:

MEASURE THE DRIVE AXLE WEIGHT OF THE TEST VEHICLE.

Programming Criteria:

1) If the drive axle weight is not measured with the vehicle on the dynamometer, prompt the driver to measure the drive axle weight. (This information shall be electronically transferred from the weighing device to the EIS.)

2) Prior to measuring an axle, the EIS must see less than 100 pounds before taking the weight measurement.

3) If the drive axle weight is measured on the dynamometer, prompt the driver to:

a. Drive the vehicle onto the dynamometer,
b. Squarely center the tires on the scale.
c. For scales integrated with the vehicle lift, slowly spin wheels to center vehicle on dynamometer.
d. Measure and record the drive axle weight.
e. Laterally stabilize, restrain, and chock the vehicle.

4) If the vehicle is to be measured on a four-wheel drive dynamometer, both axles must be weighed.

5) When the drive axle or non-drive axle is measured, the EIS must see a minimum of 500 pounds before continuing on with the inspection.

4. Vehicle Test Weight (VTW) Selection: Select a test weight based upon the following criteria:

Programming Criteria:

1. Use the ETW value in the VLT when available. If the ETW is not available, use the inertia weight class value (IWC) in the VLT, or the vehicle's measured drive axle weight, or the appropriate default weight. See below for specific test weight determination when the ETW is not available.

2. If the ETW is not available in the VLT and the GVWR is less than 8501 pounds, the EIS shall determine the correct Vehicle Test Weight based on one of the following formulas.

a. If ABS(ADAXWT - MDAXWT) <= (XX * ADAXWT)

where:
ADAXWT = Average Drive Axle Weight taken from the appropriate VLT record.
MDAXWT = Measured Drive Axle Weight from the EIS scale.
ABS = Absolute Value
XX = 10% until updated by the Low % Threshold field of the configuration information record.

If yes, then use the IWC in the appropriate VLT record. If no, proceed with step b.

b. If ABS(ADAXWT - MDAXWT) > (XX * ADAXWT)

Query the technician to determine if the vehicle is carrying an excess load.

DISPLAY PROMPT:

DOES THE VEHICLE APPEAR TO HAVE AN EXCESS LOAD GREATER THAN 500 POUNDS? (YES/NO) (e.g., load of bricks or camper)

1) If the technician answers "YES," then the IWC from the appropriate VLT record will be assumed to be correct since weighing the whole vehicle will produce inaccurate results.

2) If the technician answers "NO" and:

ABS(ADAXWT - MDAXWT) <= (YY * ADAXWT)

where:
YY = 30% until updated by the High % Threshold field of the configuration information record.

then the technician shall be prompted to validate the vehicle weight.

DISPLAY PROMPT:

BASED UPON THE DRIVE AXLE WEIGHT OF THIS VEHICLE, THE TOTAL VEHICLE INERTIA IS ASSUMED TO BE [IWC]. IS THIS WEIGHT CORRECT? (YES/NO)

i). If the technician answers "YES" then use the IWC from the appropriate VLT record.

ii). If the technician answers "NO" then prompt the technician to measure the non-drive axle weight.

VTW= [MDAXWT] + [Measured Non-Drive Axle Weight

3) ABS(ADAXWT - MDAXWT) > (YY * ADAXWT)

then the IWC in the applicable VLT record is incorrect. To determine the correct VTW, prompt the technician to measure the non-drive axle weight.

VTW = [MDAXWT] + [Measured Non-Drive Axle Weight]

4) If the ETW, IWC or the measured VTW is less than 2000lbs., the EIS shall use 2000lbs. for the VTW.

3. If an ETW is unavailable and the GVWR is greater than 8500 lbs. the EIS shall use 6000 lbs. for the VTW.

5. Vehicle Test Weight Data Source: The EIS shall automatically record the source of entry for the vehicle test weight data in the Vehicle Test Weight Input Source field. The entries are as follows:

V = VLT Match (VLT Equivalent Test Weight)
D = VLT Default (VLT Inertia Weight Class)
M = Measured Weight
F = 2000 lb. default (when the vehicle test weight is less than 2000 lb.)
G = 6000 lb. default (when an ETW is not available and the GVWR is greater than 8500 lbs.)

6. Restrain the Vehicle:

DISPLAY PROMPT:

IS THE VEHICLE A FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE? (YES/NO)

Programming Criteria:

1) If Yes (the vehicle is a front-wheel drive vehicle) or the vehicle is being tested on a four-wheel drive dynamometer, the EIS shall:

a. Prompt the driver to laterally stabilize, restrain and chock the vehicle on the dynamometer if it has not already been done.

DISPLAY PROMPT:

FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE: LATERALLY STABILIZE, RESTRAIN AND CHOCK.

b. Verify that the restraints are engaged prior to proceeding to the next step.

Note: Provisions must be made to ensure that restraints which control side-to-side movement are used on all front-wheel drive vehicles and that the vehicles are not just tied to some fixed object. If the restraint system does not control forward to backward movement, the EIS must prompt the technician to place wheel chocks or equivalent.

2) If No (the vehicle is a rear-wheel drive vehicle), prompt the driver to restrain the vehicle.

DISPLAY PROMPT:

REAR-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE: RESTRAIN

7. Axle weight scale calibration verification.

Each time the EIS measures a drive axle weight, the EIS shall determine if the axle weight is directly comparable to the axle weight listed in the VLT. An axle weight is directly comparable to the VLT axle weight if the vehicle has an ETW listed in the appropriate VLT record.

For each directly comparable drive axle weight (CDAX), the EIS shall determine the measured weight error (DAXERR) according to the following equation:

where ADAXWT is the drive axle weight taken from the appropriate VLT record.

The EIS shall maintain a record of the last 30 DAXERRs in the file DAXERR.DAT. If the average of these 30 DAXERRs is greater than XX or less than YY (where YY is assumed to be a negative number), then the EIS shall lock out for inspection until the axle weight scale calibration can be verified by a field service representative. If DAXERR.DAT does not contain 30 records (new EIS or the record was recently cleared), the EIS shall not lock out for drive axle weight scale calibration. The dynamometer scale lockout can be cleared in the service menu, or by the VID. Anytime the dynamometer scale lockout is cleared the EIS shall clear the DAXERR.DAT file.

The field service representative shall, in the process of calibrating the drive axle weight scale, clear out the DAXERR records.

Note: CONFIG.DAT contains the values for XX, and YY.

Anytime the DAXERR is within 80% of the lockout limits (XX, and YY), the EIS shall display the following warning prompt:

DISPLAY PROMPT:

THE AXLE SCALE APPEARS TO BE OUT OF CALIBRATION. IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS THE EIS WILL BE LOCKED OUT.

Note: Prior to displaying the above prompt, the DAXERR file must have 30 records in it

8. Horsepower Applied During the ASM Cycle: During the ASM test, the torque will remain constant during each mode of the test. The torque to apply will be derived from the dynamometer-applied horsepower for both the 5015 and the 2525 portions of the test using the following equation:

Dynamometer-applied horsepower for each mode of the ASM loaded-mode test must be calculated using measured vehicle weights if the drive axle weight differs by more than 10% from the value listed in the Average Drive Axle Weight field of the VLT. Otherwise, calculate the loading using the appropriate weights located in the VLT.

9. Structured Test Drive and Free-Form Test Drive Calculation for Power Applied

PAU POWER@ OBS MPH = ACC POWER@OBS MPH/S + TRLHP@OBS MPH - GTRL@OBS MPH - LHP@OBS MPH,

where:
PAU POWER@ OBS MPH = Power applied by the PAU to accurately simulate a vehicle during a transient cycle

ACC POWER@OBS MPH/S = Power required to accelerate or decelerate vehicle inertia in excess of dynamometer base inertia = Obsmph * 5280 / 3600 *ACC FORCE / 550

Where:
ACC FORCE = E MASS * ACCELERATION (MPH/SEC) * 5280 / 3600
Obsmph = Observed vehicle speed
E MASS = The portion of the vehicle mass that must be simulated electrically
E MASS = (VEHICLE WEIGHT - BASE INERTIA) / 32.2
Multiply vehicle weight by 1.015 if two-wheel drive vehicle (for non-drive wheel rotating inertia)

TRLHP@OBS MPH = Power absorbed by drag on the vehicle = AV * (Obsmph) + BV * (Obsmph)2 + CV * (Obsmph)3

Where:
AV = (AVPF / 50) * TRLHP@50
BV = (BVPF / 2500) * TRLHP@50
CV = (CVPF / 125000) * TRLHP@50

Where:
TRLHP@50 = Track road load horsepower at 50 mph
AVPF = 0.35
BVPF = 0.1
CVPF = 0.55

GTRL@OBS MPH = Power absorbed at the tire/dyno roll interface = At * (Obsmph) + Bt * (Obsmph)2 + Ct * (Obsmph)3

PLHP@OBS MPH = Dynamometer parasitic loss horsepower

Programming Criteria:

1) If the applied dynamometer horsepower must be calculated, use the following procedure:

Calculate the curve coefficients necessary to properly characterize the tire/roll interface losses.

At = (0.xx/50) x (GTRL@50mph)
Bt = (0.yy/2500) x (GTRL@50mph)
Ct = (0.zz/125000) x (GTRL@50mph)
At8 = (0.76/50) x (-.378193 + (0.0033207 x DAXWT))
Bt8 = (0.33/2500) x (-.378193 + (0.0033207 x DAXWT))
Ct8 = (-0.09/125000) x (-.378193 + (0.0033207 x DAXWT))
At20 = (0.65/50) x (.241645 + (.0020844 x DAXWT))
Bt20 = (0.48/2500) x (.241645 + (.0020844 x DAXWT))
Ct20 = (-0.13/125000) x (.241645 + (.0020844 x DAXWT))

Where

- At, Bt, Ct are curve coefficients necessary to properly characterize the tire/roll interface losses.
- At8, Bt8, and Ct8 are curve coefficients when using twin 8.625-inch diameter rolls.
- At20, Bt20, and Ct20 are curve coefficients when using twin 20-inch diameter rolls.
- DAXWT is the measured drive axle weight.

Coefficients for other roll diameters shall be supplied by dynamometer manufacturers and submitted to BAR for approval.

2) Using the curve coefficients established above, determine the GTRL for 15 mph and 25 mph using the following equation:

GTRL@Obmph = (At x (Obmph)) + (Bt x (Obmph)2) + (Ct x (Obmph)3)

Where GTRL = Generic Tire/Roll Interface losses at the observed mph

3) Using the measured drive axle weight (MDAXWT), calculate the applied horsepower as follows:

a. For 8.65" diameter rolls:

THP5015 = VTW/227
THP2525 = VTW/248


HP50158 = THP5015 - GTRL @ for 8.65 rolls

HP25258 = THP2525 - GTRL @ for 8.65 rolls


b. For 20" diameter rolls:

THP 5015 = ETW/227 + GTRL@15 for 8.65" rolls - GTRL@15 for 20" rolls
THP 2525 = ETW/248 + GTRL@25 for 8.65" rolls - GTRL@25 for 20" rolls

10. Cooling Fan: The EIS shall prompt the technician to turn on the fan and to place it in position if the ambient temperature is above 72oF. (The EIS may provide the option of automatically turning on the fan from a remote location.)

11. Probe and Tachometer Hookups: The EIS shall prompt the technician to insert the sample probe into the tailpipe and attach the selected RPM pick up device pursuant to §3.6.11.

12. Gear Selection: The technician shall be prompted, as appropriate, on transmission type:

i. Automatic Transmissions

DISPLAY PROMPT:

PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN SECOND GEAR.

KEEP ENGINE RPM BETWEEN ____ AND ____.

Programming Criteria:

The EIS shall prompt the technician to test the vehicle in second gear unless the following criteria cannot be met, then select a gear that will maintain the following engine speeds.

a. Engine size less than or equal to 3.0L: Greater than or equal to the appropriate lower limit (times 100) in the configuration file, less than or equal the appropriate upper limit (times 100) in the configuration file. If the RPM limit in the configuration file is empty, the EIS shall default to 3000 RPM for the upper limit, and 1500 RPM for the lower limit.

b. Engine size larger than 3.0L: Greater than or equal to the appropriate lower limit (times 100) in the configuration file, less than or equal to the appropriate upper limit (times 100) in the configuration file. If the RPM limit in the configuration file is empty, the EIS shall default to 2500 RPM for the upper limit, and 1250 RPM for the lower limit.

13. Tire Drying: The EIS shall prompt the technician as follows:

DISPLAY PROMPT:

DO THE TIRES NEED DRYING? (YES/NO)

Programming Criteria:

1) If YES, the EIS shall allow the technician to run the vehicle at any speed below 30 mph after selection of the transmission gear (engine speed may not exceed 3000 RPM). When the roll speed exceeds 1 mph, the screen shall display the following delay message which shall include the seconds that must be waited until the test mode can begin.

DISPLAY PROMPT:

ONCE THE TIRES ARE DRY, YOU MUST WAIT ____ SECONDS PRIOR TO BEGINNING THE 5015 TEST MODE.

The EIS shall increment the above second timer one second at a time until the rolls are brought to a stop (speed reaches 1 mph or less). If the vehicle speed exceeds 30 mph or the engine exceeds 3000 RPM during tire drying, the timer shall increment twice a second until the speed is brought below 30 mph or the engine speed below 3000 RPM. When the rolls come to a stop, the above timer shall decrement once every second until the time reads zero before the EIS allows the driver to start th
