Don't know if you checked the 89-96 forum thread about the CA emissions-- I answered your post RE diesels and MA. BIGKEN can answer that with more recent news oin that, but at the time of posting I believe you still can't get a brand new diesel in MA. Only a used one over "x" miles.

BTW one thing we got on you New Hamster guys here-- we can pass safety even with an ABS light on. The only brake light that fails you is the red one.

A MIL lamp will flunk you, and taking the bulb out don't help because they hook to a computer (1996 +)

If the ABS light or check engine light is on it fails up here as well.

I was misread.. In MA, you pass with an ABS light on, so long as the red system light is off (but not disconnected) and of course the brakes otherwise function properly


http://www.mass.gov/rmv/faq/inspection.htm#4


Text on the FAQ reads

[My Anti-lock brake light is on, am I going to fail inspection?

No, anti-lock brakes are not part of the state inspection. If the brake light is on, indicating a failure in the hydraulic braking system, you will be failed. This indicates a serious condition which must be checked immediately. The anti-lock brake light indicates a problem with that specific feature of your braking system. We do, however, suggest you have the brakes checked as soon as possible. ]
