Who we are

Why a licensed mobile tester?

+
+

Official CARB credential

License ID IF530523 means every result NorCal CARB Mobile issues is a state-recognized document. Not a printout from a third-party app — an official CARB record.

+

We know the regulations

CARB rules change. Clean Truck Check phases in by vehicle weight, model year, and engine family. HD-OBD reporting deadlines. We track this so you don’t have to.

+

Experience with fleets and RVs

From owner-operators to multi-truck fleets, from pickup-towed RVs to Class A motorhomes. If CARB requires it, we can test it.

+

We back our work

Free retest within 150 days on a failed test. If we made an error, we fix it at zero cost. No fine print.

+
+
+
+
+
+

CARB penalties for non-compliance

Bryan Gillis · Licensed CARB Tester IF530523 · May 5, 2026

+
+

Short answer: A missed CARB test costs more than the test. Fines start at $1,000 per day. DMV blocks your registration. Repeat violations stack and trigger fleet-level audits. Skipping a $75 OBD or $250 OVI-J1667 to save money is the most expensive savings move you can make.

+

1. Daily fines

+

$1,000 per day, per vehicle, accruing from the missed compliance date. CARB does not need to catch you in the act — the database knows when your test was due. Most fines are assessed retroactively after the fact.

+

2. DMV registration hold

+

This is the immediate, automatic penalty. If your truck isn't compliant in CARB's system, DMV will not renew the registration. The truck can't legally operate until you fix it. As of 2026, the hold extends to trailers in some cases.

+

3. Roadside out-of-service order

+

CHP and CARB inspectors can pull a non-compliant truck off the road on the spot. Driver loses the load. Carrier loses the customer.

+

4. Fleet audits

+

Repeat non-compliance across multiple vehicles in a fleet triggers a CARB audit. Auditors review every vehicle, every test record, and every emissions repair. Audits typically last weeks and result in cumulative fines.

+

5. Reputation cost

+

Major shippers (Walmart, Amazon, Target, etc.) and freight brokers require carriers to be CARB-compliant before tendering loads. A non-compliance flag on the truck can lock you out of contracts.

+

The math

+ + + + + + + +
ScenarioCost
OBD test on time$75
OVI-J1667 on time$250
Missed by 30 days$30,000 + DMV hold
Fleet of 10 trucks, 30 days late$300,000 + audit risk
+

Don't be the sample in row 4.

CARB testing for motorhomes and RVs

Bryan Gillis · Licensed CARB Tester IF530523 · May 5, 2026

+
+

Short answer: Diesel motorhomes (Class A, B, C) and diesel RVs operating in California are subject to CARB Clean Truck Check rules just like commercial trucks. The same engine-year rule applies: 2013+ needs OBD ($75), pre-2013 needs OVI-J1667 ($250). Some need both.

+

Who's covered

+
  • Class A diesel pushers (Newmar, Tiffin, Entegra, Foretravel, etc.)
  • Class C diesel (Mercedes Sprinter chassis, Ford E-450 with diesel option)
  • Diesel-powered Class B conversions
  • Toy haulers on a diesel chassis
+

Gas-powered RVs are not under Clean Truck Check (they go through DMV smog if applicable). Towed RVs without their own engine don't need testing — just the tow vehicle.

+

What's different about RVs

+

Three things to know:

+
  1. Storage location matters. If your RV lives in storage 350 days a year, it still needs testing during the days it's on California roads. We can come to the storage lot.
  2. OBD ports are sometimes hidden. RV builders bury the dash port behind trim panels. We've seen them all. Have the manual handy if you know it's tricky.
  3. Smoke testing on Class A is loud. Snap-acceleration on a 400hp Cummins is dramatic. Pick a time/place that works for the campsite.
+

Pricing

+
  • OBD only (2013+ engine): $75
  • OVI-J1667 only (pre-2013 engine): $250
  • Both: $325 (combined)
+

Same retest policy applies: free retest within 150 days on fail.

+

Where we test

+

Storage facilities, RV parks, dealerships, your driveway. Anywhere accessible in Northern California from our Sacramento or Oakland office.

CARB Clean Truck Check deadlines for 2026

Bryan Gillis · Licensed CARB Tester IF530523 · May 5, 2026

+
+

Short answer: Clean Truck Check is fully phased in for 2026 — every heavy-duty diesel truck operating in California (GVWR 14,001 lbs+) must be tested twice per year. Compliance is enforced by DMV registration holds. The state can also assess fines starting at $1,000 per day for non-compliance.

+

The 2026 testing cycle

+

Most fleets are now on a twice-yearly cadence:

+
  • One full OBD test (2013+) or OVI-J1667 (pre-2013) by a licensed tester (us)
  • One self-reported submission via CARB's online portal between licensed tests
+

Specific deadlines fall on a 6-month rolling window from the previous compliance date. Set a calendar reminder for the same day every 6 months. Or just call us — we track your fleet's dates if we tested it last cycle.

+

What changed in 2026

+
  • Roadside camera enforcement expanded — more readers along major freight corridors (I-5, I-80, I-880)
  • Fines now stack daily for repeat non-compliance instead of per-incident
  • DMV holds now block trailer registration too, not just power unit registration
  • Some out-of-state carriers operating >5 days per year in CA are pulled into compliance
+

What happens if you miss

+
  • DMV registration hold (truck can't be re-registered until compliant)
  • $1,000/day fine assessed by CARB after notice
  • Possible roadside out-of-service order during inspection
  • Reputation damage with brokers and shippers who require compliance docs
+

How to stay ahead

+

For owner-operators: book your test 60 days before the compliance date. For fleets: schedule a recurring quarterly visit — we test all your trucks in one stop. Get on the calendar.

How to prepare your truck for a CARB test

Bryan Gillis · Licensed CARB Tester IF530523 · May 5, 2026

+
+

Most CARB test failures are avoidable. Here's a 5-step checklist that gets the majority of trucks through on the first try.

+

1. Drive at least one full duty cycle the day before

+

If you cleared codes recently or had work done, the truck's readiness monitors need to complete before an OBD test will pass. A drive cycle is roughly: cold start, 15+ minutes of mixed driving with at least one highway pull, then a normal shutdown. Plug in a scan tool and check that all monitors say "ready" before we arrive.

+

2. Don't clear codes in the week before

+

Some operators try to clear the Check Engine light hoping the issue is gone. CARB's tool detects recently cleared modules — it'll fail you for that alone. If you have an active code, fix the underlying issue, then drive the truck enough to verify it's actually resolved before the test.

+

3. DEF tank topped off and DEF system functional

+

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) systems are a top failure point. Make sure:

+
  • DEF tank is at least 1/4 full
  • DEF quality light isn't lit
  • DEF dosing system isn't throwing inducement codes
+

Bad DEF or a failing dosing module = OBD failure.

+

4. For OVI-J1667: warm up the engine first

+

Cold engines smoke. Drive the truck for 20-30 minutes before we arrive, or at minimum let it idle to operating temperature. The opacity reading on a cold truck will be artificially high and you'll fail something you'd otherwise pass.

+

5. Have the truck accessible

+

Sounds obvious, but: park where we can get the OBD port (driver's seat side, usually under the dash) or the exhaust stack reachable. Make sure batteries are charged. If we show up to a dead truck or a truck buried in a yard, the visit gets billed even if we can't test.

+

Bonus: have your VIN and registration ready

+

Speeds up the visit. We need them for the report.

Mobile CARB test vs shop visit — cost, time, hassle

Bryan Gillis · Licensed CARB Tester IF530523 · May 5, 2026

+
+

Short answer: Hauling a Class 8 truck to a brick-and-mortar shop just to plug into the OBD port costs more in downtime than the test. Mobile testing eliminates the trip and the wait.

+

The honest cost comparison

+ + + + + + + + + +
Cost componentShop visitMobile test
Test fee$95-$150$75 OBD / $250 OVI
Drive time (round trip)1-2 hrs @ $80/hr = $80-160$0
Driver cost during wait$30-50 (sitting in shop)$0 (driver works)
Fuel for trip$30-60$0
Lost load opportunityHalf-day = $200-400$0 (truck stays loaded)
Real total$435-820$75-250
+

The mobile test is cheaper even before you factor in the hassle.

+

For fleets, the gap is bigger

+

Sending 10 trucks to a shop one at a time = 10 trips = ~5 days of cumulative downtime. Mobile fleet visit = one morning at your yard, all 10 trucks tested. The math is brutal in your favor.

+

Are mobile results equivalent?

+

Yes. Identical. Mobile testers use the same CARB-licensed equipment and the same HD-OBD reporting interface. Tester ID IF530523 issues an official, state-recognized result. Nothing about "mobile" makes the test less valid.

+

When you'd still go to a shop

+
  • You're already at the shop for repairs. Test while you're there.
  • You don't have a safe outdoor spot to do the test. (Rare — most yards work.)
  • You don't trust mobile services because someone burned you once. Fair. Try us once and we'll change your mind.

OBD vs OVI-J1667 — which does my truck need?

Bryan Gillis · Licensed CARB Tester IF530523 · May 5, 2026

+
+

Short answer: Look at the engine model year on the emissions sticker under the hood (not the truck registration year).

+
  • 2013 or newer engine → OBD testing ($75)
  • Pre-2013 engine → OVI-J1667 smoke/opacity testing ($250)
  • Some compliance programs (PSIP audits, fleet inspections) → both
+

Don't have the sticker handy? Call us with the VIN, we'll confirm in a minute.

+

Why the cutoff is 2013

+

2013 is when CARB required all heavy-duty diesel engines to have full HD-OBD compliance — meaning the ECM tracks emissions performance in real time and stores diagnostic codes for any failure. Before that, OBD wasn't standardized enough across manufacturers to be a reliable compliance tool, so CARB used opacity (OVI-J1667) instead.

+

When you might need both

+
  • Roadside Periodic Smoke Inspection Program (PSIP) audit — CARB occasionally requires a smoke test even on a 2013+ truck
  • Failed OBD that pointed to a smoke-causing issue — the agent may want OVI confirmation that the repair worked
  • Fleet compliance audit — some fleet rules require both as a baseline
+

What is HD-OBD reporting?

Bryan Gillis · Licensed CARB Tester IF530523 · May 5, 2026

+
+

Short answer: HD-OBD reporting is the electronic submission of heavy-duty on-board diagnostic test data to CARB's database. Under Clean Truck Check, OBD results have to be transmitted electronically — a paper printout doesn't count anymore. NorCal CARB Mobile handles this submission as part of every OBD test.

+

What gets transmitted

+

For each OBD test, the licensed tester's tool sends CARB:

+
  • VIN and license plate
  • Engine identifier (engine model, family, calibration ID)
  • Active and pending diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)
  • Readiness monitor status (which emissions self-tests have completed)
  • MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) status
  • Tester ID, date, and location
+

This is the same data CARB engineers analyze when they're auditing fleet emissions performance.

+

Why it replaced paper

+

Paper smog certificates can be forged, lost, or backdated. Electronic reporting goes straight from the licensed tester's tool into CARB's database. The vehicle is updated as compliant within minutes — no waiting on mail, no walking paperwork into the DMV.

+

What it means for you

+

Nothing extra. We do it. As soon as the test passes, your truck shows compliant in CARB's system. If you ever need proof, the record is there.

+

What if reporting fails

+

Cell or WiFi at your yard goes down? The data is queued and submitted as soon as we have a signal. The test is still valid — reporting is the delivery mechanism, not the test itself.

What is OBD testing for heavy-duty trucks?

Bryan Gillis · Licensed CARB Tester IF530523 · May 5, 2026

+
+

Short answer: OBD (on-board diagnostic) testing reads emissions data and fault codes directly from a truck's engine control module. It's required for 2013 and newer heavy-duty diesel vehicles under CARB's Clean Truck Check. The test costs $75 per vehicle and takes about 15-20 minutes.

+

What we actually do

+

A licensed CARB tester (CARB ID IF530523) connects an OBD scan tool to the OBD port — same port the dealer uses for diagnostics, usually under the dash. The tool pulls:

+
  • Emissions-related fault codes (DTCs)
  • Readiness monitor status (whether emission systems have run their self-tests)
  • Engine identification (engine model, family, calibration ID)
+

The data is submitted electronically to CARB's database — this is called HD-OBD reporting. More on HD-OBD here.

+

Pass or fail

+

You pass if there are no active emissions fault codes and the readiness monitors are complete. You fail if:

+
  • An emissions DTC is active (Check Engine light territory)
  • Required readiness monitors haven't run (truck hasn't been driven enough)
  • The MIL (malfunction indicator) has been commanded on for an emissions reason
+

If you fail, fix the issue — typically a sensor, EGR valve, DPF, or DEF system component — and we'll retest free within 150 days.

+

Why it's required

+

Modern diesel engines are heavily emissions-controlled. CARB wants confirmation that the controls (DPF, SCR, EGR) are still working as designed. Reading the OBD codes is the fastest, most accurate way to verify that.

+

Cost and time

+
  • $75 per vehicle at your location
  • 15-20 minutes per truck
  • Documentation issued on-site
  • Free retest within 150 days on fail

What is OVI-J1667 (Smoke / Opacity Testing)?

Bryan Gillis · Licensed CARB Tester IF530523 · May 5, 2026

+
+

Short answer: OVI-J1667 is the Opacity Visible Inspection performed to SAE standard J1667. A licensed tester does a snap-acceleration test and measures exhaust opacity with calibrated equipment. It's the official version of what most people call a "smoke test" — required for pre-2013 heavy-duty diesel vehicles. Cost: $250 per vehicle.

+

Why "OVI-J1667" and not just "smoke test"

+

SAE International published J1667 as the standard procedure for measuring exhaust opacity on heavy-duty diesel engines. CARB adopted it for the Periodic Smoke Inspection Program (PSIP) and Clean Truck Check. "OVI" is CARB's terminology — Opacity Visible Inspection. Same procedure, formal name. If your truck is being inspected to J1667, you're getting an OVI.

+

How the test works

+
  1. Truck warmed up to operating temperature
  2. Tester clamps an opacity meter probe onto the exhaust stack
  3. Three snap-accelerations from idle to full throttle, no load
  4. Opacity meter records peak opacity for each acceleration
  5. Pass/fail determined by averaging the readings against the CARB threshold for that model year and engine
+

Total time: 20-30 minutes once the truck is warm.

+

What you get

+

An official SAE J1667 test report with:

+
  • Opacity readings for each acceleration
  • Vehicle identification (VIN, plate, engine)
  • Tester ID (IF530523) and signature
  • Pass/fail determination
+

Accepted by CARB and DMV. Free retest within 150 days on fail.

+

Who needs OVI-J1667 vs OBD

+

Pre-2013 engines = OVI-J1667. 2013+ = OBD. Full breakdown here.

What is the CARB Clean Truck Check?

Bryan Gillis · Licensed CARB Tester IF530523 · May 5, 2026

+
+

Short answer: The CARB Clean Truck Check is California's mandatory emissions testing program for heavy-duty diesel trucks (GVWR 14,001 lbs or more). It requires either OBD testing or OVI-J1667 (smoke/opacity) testing depending on model year. Penalties for non-compliance start at $1,000 per day.

+

Who has to comply

+

Almost every heavy-duty diesel truck operating in California. The rule covers:

+
  • Truck tractors, single-unit trucks, and buses with a GVWR of 14,001 lbs or more
  • Vehicles registered in California and vehicles registered out of state but operating in California
  • Class A, B, and C diesel motorhomes
  • Some agricultural and off-road equipment under separate CARB rules
+

Light-duty vehicles (under 14,001 lbs GVWR) are not part of Clean Truck Check — those go through DMV smog.

+

What's actually tested

+

The test depends on your truck's model year:

+
  • 2013 and newer engines: OBD testing ($75). A licensed tester plugs into the OBD port, reads the emissions data and any fault codes, and submits the results to CARB electronically (HD-OBD reporting).
  • Pre-2013 engines: OVI-J1667 testing ($250). The licensed tester performs a snap-acceleration test and measures exhaust opacity to SAE J1667 standard.
+

How often

+

Twice per year for most trucks (one OBD/OVI test plus one self-reported submission), phased in by weight class and engine model year. The program ramped up between 2024 and 2026.

+

What happens if you fail

+

You get an official failure report listing the cause (a fault code, smoke level, or both). Repair the issue, and we can retest free within 150 days. If you ignore the failure, expect a registration hold at DMV and daily fines from CARB.

+

Why mobile testing

+

The whole point of Clean Truck Check is on-the-road compliance. Hauling a Class 8 truck to a brick-and-mortar shop just to plug into the OBD port costs more in downtime than the test itself. We come to your yard, depot, or job site and have you back to work in 20 minutes.

CARB Testing FAQ

+

Common questions about OBD testing, OVI-J1667 (smoke/opacity), Clean Truck Check compliance, pricing, and how mobile testing works. Answered by Licensed CARB Tester IF530523.

+
+
+
+
+

What is the CARB Clean Truck Check?

The CARB Clean Truck Check is a mandatory emissions testing program from the California Air Resources Board for heavy-duty diesel trucks operating in California. It requires OBD testing for 2013 and newer trucks and OVI-J1667 (smoke/opacity) testing for older trucks. The program phases in by vehicle weight class, model year, and engine family. Penalties for non-compliance start at $1,000 per day.

+

What is OBD testing for heavy-duty trucks?

OBD (on-board diagnostic) testing reads emissions data and fault codes directly from your truck’s ECM. Required for 2013 and newer heavy-duty diesel vehicles under CARB’s Clean Truck Check. A licensed tester connects to the OBD port and the results are submitted electronically to CARB.

Cost: $75 per vehicle. Free retest within 150 days on fail.

+

What is OVI-J1667 testing (smoke / opacity)?

OVI-J1667 is the Opacity Visible Inspection performed to SAE standard J1667. A licensed tester performs a snap-acceleration smoke test and measures exhaust opacity with calibrated equipment. It is the official test for pre-2013 heavy-duty diesel vehicles. “OVI-J1667” and “smoke test” refer to the same procedure.

Cost: $250 per vehicle. Free retest within 150 days on fail.

+

How much does mobile CARB testing cost?

  • OBD testing: $75 per vehicle
  • OVI-J1667 (smoke/opacity): $250 per vehicle
  • Motorhome / RV: $75 OBD + $250 OVI-J1667
  • Fleet (3+ vehicles): Custom quote — call or email

Retests after a failure are free within 150 days. No hidden fees.

+

What vehicles need CARB emissions testing?

Heavy-duty diesel trucks and buses with a GVWR of 14,001 lbs or more operating in California. 2013 and newer trucks need OBD testing. Pre-2013 trucks need OVI-J1667 (smoke/opacity) testing. Agricultural equipment 25 hp or greater may also be subject to CARB periodic compliance checks. Motorhomes and RVs with diesel engines follow the same rules by model year.

+

Do I need OBD testing, OVI-J1667, or both?

It depends on your vehicle’s model year:

  • 2013 or newer: OBD testing ($75)
  • Pre-2013: OVI-J1667 smoke/opacity testing ($250)
  • Some programs: Both tests required

Call us with your VIN and we’ll confirm exactly what your truck needs before you schedule.

+

How long does a mobile CARB test take?

OBD testing: approximately 15–20 minutes per vehicle. OVI-J1667 (smoke/opacity): approximately 20–30 minutes per vehicle. Fleet visits are scheduled to minimize downtime — multiple vehicles in one appointment. Official documentation is issued on-site before we leave.

+

What happens if my vehicle fails?

You receive an official failure report with the reason for failure. Once you repair the issue (clear the fault codes, fix the emissions problem, address the smoke/opacity), contact us. Free retests are available within 150 days of the original test at no additional charge.

+

Can you test at my yard or fleet depot?

Yes — mobile testing at your yard, depot, parking lot, or job site is exactly what NorCal CARB Mobile does. You don’t haul trucks to a shop. We come to your location anywhere in Northern California. Fleet visits can test multiple vehicles in a single appointment.

+

How do I schedule a CARB test?

Call 916-890-4427 or use the contact form. Tell us the number of vehicles, their model years, your location, and a preferred time window. We confirm within the hour during business hours (Mon–Fri 6am–5pm, Saturday 8am–4pm).

+

What is CARB Tester ID IF530523?

IF530523 is the California Air Resources Board tester license number for Bryan Gillis, owner of NorCal CARB Mobile. All tests performed by NorCal CARB Mobile are issued under this license number. Results are official and accepted for California registration, CARB compliance filing, and DMV purposes.

+

Where does NorCal CARB Mobile serve?

We serve all of Northern California from two offices: Sacramento and Oakland. Coverage includes Sacramento metro, Stockton, Modesto, Roseville, Lodi, Tracy, Hayward, Antioch, Fairfield, San Jose, Napa, North Bay, Bay Area, Butte County, plus extended coverage including Orange County and San Diego. See the full service area list →

+

What is HD-OBD reporting?

HD-OBD (Heavy-Duty On-Board Diagnostic) reporting is the electronic submission of OBD test data to CARB. Under the Clean Truck Check program, OBD results must be transmitted to CARB’s database to confirm compliance. NorCal CARB Mobile handles this submission as part of every OBD test — no extra steps from you.
