A couple of weeks ago, I had to take one of my cars thru emissions. When I pulled in, they hooked it up, then came over and told me that their testing equipment just failed a test that is done between vehicles. They would need to recalibrate it before testing my car. It took about 10 minutes. I have tested cars many times, and never experienced this... I was somewhat apprehensive as I did not want to fail ( A big PITA) but it went fine.
What it showed me is how fast something can go wrong with testing equipment. It worked fine on the car ahead of me, and was out of spec immeadiatly after that car.
One thing is certain. As time goes on, there will be many more tests. At some point it will be pretty obvious if this test, with its large disparity of on the Dmaxes results is actually accurate, or if something went wrong.
