Is it the purpose of these vehicle inspections to get the owners to disable warning lights telling them that a safety feature has failed? How is it handled when the car is traded in to a dealer and/or sold to someone else? Doesn't the inspector run the car through the lamp test cycle to make sure the bulbs haven't burned out or were removed? If they did, wouldn't that cause the car to fail the test or do they assume that if the car doesn't have an ABS lamp that it is not equipped with ABS? Sorry if my questions seem silly, but we don't have vehicle safety inspections where I live, just emissions inspections and most cars in the state (Illinois) are exempt from this inspection too (but not my Saab).
