Default EPA caught VW cheating - how does the car know it's being tested?

CT had the testing contracted out and EVERY car had to be done. It was a
money maker for the testing company. Now it is done by local authorized
garages and they comply with the 5 year rule. I forget the numbers, but
in the first few years, 99.999% of new cars pass the test but paid the
fee.
