In California, you cannot pass the smog check if your Check Engine Light is on. Its a heck of a racket.

You also cannot pass it if you just pulled your battery cable to clear the light. The batards read the codes and see that you have not driven enough "cycles" to complete all checks and will tell you to go away and come back later.

If the codes and light come back on, you are still screwed.

Hawaii has it's many liberal faults, but the CARB smog Nazis have not infiltrated here yet.
