Learn about everyday components and fluids, how to use a scanner to decode what’s really going on, and what simple things you can check yourself.

Your Car Can Cram For Its Exam: California Smog Testing
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Smog testing isn't just an every-two-years thing. If your engine light comes on, the car won't pass a smog test. So really your car tests itself every day that you drive your car!
Always pay attention to a check engine light.
Pull over if it's flashing.
If it's a solid light, you have a chance to address an issue before it becomes more serious, more expensive, and more harmful to the environment! It's a light that's there to inform you, not to scare you.
In this episode, I speak with Angie Hernandez of SoCo Smog Test in Costa Mesa, CA.
Consider going to her for your next smog inspection!
