The Lighting Test
During the lighting portion of the inspection the vehicle’s lighting system is inspected for the correct equipment as well as its functionality. All of the original equipment lighting that was installed at the factory must be functioning properly and have no cracked or missing lenses or fixtures. Any aftermarket light fixtures installed on the vehicle must be DOT approved. Not only must all of the originally installed exterior lights function but the interior lights must work as well; such as the high beam indicator, turn signal indicator, and the dash illumination lights.
The Brake Test
The brake portion of the test involves removing all of the vehicle’s wheels for a thorough brake inspection. Once the wheels are removed the brake pads and shoes are inspected for thickness. The linings need to be above 1/32” for bonded linings and 1/64” or more for riveted linings to pass. All of the rotors and drums are measured for thickness and need to meet or exceed manufacturer’s minimum thickness specifications. The hydraulic system is also inspected for any fluid leaks or cracked or abraded hoses or lines. Any major safety concerns will also cause a failure such as: tires showing cords, worn ball joints and other suspension components.
