North Dakota has no statewide periodic vehicle safety or emissions inspection program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all North Dakota and federal requirements.
Is this for VATS or Passlock?
VATS — the older resistor-pellet key system used 1986-2005. Passlock (1995+) is different and uses a magnetic Hall sensor in the column. For Passlock issues, see our GM Cluster Upgrade + Mileage Program service.
Will my car still pass emissions / smog?
Yes. VATS is independent of the emissions system. The OBD-I or OBD-II readiness, fuel trims, and emissions codes operate identically to before — only the anti-theft authentication is bypassed.
