    Check engine light on? I don't think it would pass.

    I believe the only systems that can be “incomplete” are the evap systems;).

    But @Joele3 knows for sure(y).

    As long as the Check engine light isn't on. Evap monitor is the only one that can be incomplete. Any other warning lights won't affect smog.

    The best way to get this answered would be to go to a smog shop and ask.

    Who do you think runs a smog shop:whistle:?

    Here you just don’t get to see him in his element;).

    But the answer above is from a shops perspective (y).
