Which statement about Test Only stations is accurate?

• A. Test Only stations may not provide any diagnostic information to the customer under any circumstances.
• B. Test Only stations provide diagnostic information only for emissions-related issues.
• C. Test Only stations may provide diagnostic information only if the customer requests it.
• D. Test Only stations may provide diagnostic information if the customer explicitly consents.

Answer: (A)

Test Only stations are restricted to performing the emissions test itself and delivering the test results. They don’t diagnose problems or give repair advice to customers. This keeps the testing process impartial and avoids any role beyond verifying whether a vehicle meets emissions standards. Because of that, they cannot provide diagnostic information under any circumstances, even if asked or if the customer consents. If a vehicle fails, the next step is to take it to a licensed repair facility for diagnosis and repair guidance.
