I had my '01 V10 inspected the other day with the "new" setup where they hook up to the OBD-II port.
The inspector (garage mechanic) entered "F250 SUPER DUTY" and it came up with the O2 sensor and O2 sensor heater test not completed. Usual thing, it appears.
My '01 SD is registered as a passenger vehicle because it has(had) a cap/topper on it, and that's legally the requirement in NY for passenger plates. Weight on the reg is 5600 lbs, because that's the shipping weight on the title, even though the GVWR is 8800 lbs. The inspection equipment came up with "less than 8500 lbs".
He called some consortium, which in turn gave him the # for Albany. They told him they had fixed the software, and to just enter "F250" as the vehicle type. That cured it, it passed immediately.
So, anyone having this problem, tell the guy doing the inspection to type in just plain "F250" in NYS.
I am going to post this as a seperate thread since it would help others besides those reading this one thread.
