Carmania24 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Dumb question--My car is due for renewal soon and I wanted to know if there are stored codes will this cause me to fail smog? My CEL is OFF and has been for 5-6 days. I am in CA. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notorious Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 If the stored codes are even remotely related to emissions components, it’s still automatic fail I believe. Could be wrong though. I’ve been hotsmogging the last couple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some other people said they passed because the tech said as long as the CEL is not actually on before/during smog, they will pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some techs see it as a clue for something else that would be cause for a fail. I’m tired of all the smog hoops and ladders to pass so I said forget it. Pay the man.
