A user interface 32 is mounted in the vehicle and connected to a control module 20 which includes a vehicle identification number 29, diagnostic facilities 22 for receiving data from emission related sensing devices on the vehicle and for determining a malfunction from the received data, an erasable/recordable non-volatile memory 26 for storing diagnostic trouble codes and facilities 30 responsive to a user request for reading the vehicle identification number and the stored diagnostic trouble codes and transmitting the vehicle identification number and emissions information to an output of the control module. The user interface includes a message display 34 and user data entry facilities 36 for sending the user request to read and output the stored diagnostic trouble codes and for selectively connecting one of the removable media storage device 40 and the radio responder 44 to the output of the control module to send emission test data to a state vehicle licensing authority via a recordable media or a radio transmission facility.
