Re: 1997 Altima p***** emissions, but fails overall smog.

You need to plug in a scanner to the OBD II ****t under the dash.  If the 
check engine light is not on, more than likely not all systems are "ready"

for testing.  There are 6-8 systems which are monitored and must be ready 
for testing.  The scanner will indicate readiness, and which monitors are 
not.
