What must be done before any vehicle under a maintenance agreement can be inspected?

Before a vehicle under a maintenance agreement can be inspected, it's necessary to submit a copy of the agreement. This ensures that the inspectors have an accurate understanding of the terms and conditions associated with the maintenance of the vehicle, including any specific services that are required or waived under the agreement. Submitting the copy helps confirm that the vehicle meets all necessary standards and requirements outlined in the maintenance agreement, facilitating a thorough and compliant inspection process.

In the context of this requirement, filing the agreement with the DMV or contacting the manufacturer may not be necessary for the inspection process itself, as they do not directly relate to the immediate requirements for vehicle inspection. Additionally, while a mechanical test could be a part of the maintenance process, it is not mandated as a prerequisite for inspection under a maintenance agreement.
