That is false. Read the guide. Fail with a standard, tell the owner with an automatic.

No kiddin. Thanks for the update. I was certified 7 years ago, and as far as i remember it had to work regardless of transmission.

However, my statement stands. Fix your e brake regardless, that parking pawl can fail.

It has changed a bit in the past few years. It got super strict like fail if the backup camera does not or the tire pressure sensors don't work..Scott has it relaxed to be a bit more reasonable.

Thats good news. Im all for safety inspections, we dont need frames breaking and ball joints popping on the road...but when they first rolled out the computerized inspection system it was pretty ridiculous.
