Vehicle Maintenance Tip

When refueling the vehicle, always turn the engine off. Do not add more fuel or top off the tank after the pump has shut off. The evaporative control system needs to have the airspace left over after the pump has shut off in the tank in order to function properly.

Inspection and Repair Industry: Ongoing Training

Registered Emissions Repair Technicians are required to complete an on-going training requirement to retain their registrations in the Massachusetts Vehicle Check program. Parsons will offer several four-hour training modules on emissions-related diagnosis and repair each year, and every Registered Repair Technician will need to complete at least one of them over the course of the year to remain in good standing.

Specific modules will cover topics including:

  • OBD Diagnosis and Related Repairs
  • Using Internet Resources to Diagnose and Repair OBD Failures
