I met a guy last night that just purchased his evo ix in so cal. He said when he smogged it the place was straight obd2 testing.
I'm just worried about my check engine lights on the car. I'm wondering if I should try to disable the routine to check them or if that would just flag the car to fail.

BTW - If you have a CEL it is an automatic fail. Read them with Evoscan, fix the root cause, clear them all, and then set the correct flags as described in post #290 in this thread to pass the OBD-II scans. Make sure you are catted (with a living cat!) in closed loop and fuel trims are not maxed out to pass the sniff test.

smog
According to my smog guy, any cars 2000 and newer have to go through the obd2 test in california now.
If I shut off the routine that checks for the check engine light, would that be an instant fail? I'm just trying to figure out how to make the check engine light go off and stay off since I think one of my codes I have is the notorious p0300 which a lot of evo guys have.

I just smogged a month ago. They checked for codes and hooked up to be sure the parameters have been met. They also ran the sniffer.
I can load my stock ROM again and pass, no problem. But I would love to pass with the modded ROM so I don't have to swap any parts.

Does anyone have an updated link or copy of the video from the original post? That link no longer works and I am overdue on smog by over a year.
I just got my Tactrix cable and am currently stuck in the beginning. After I hook my car up and the computer 'Reads from ECU,' I am pretty lost.
ECU: 94170008
Thanks.

Just passed the new obd-II only test here in CA, at a star certified station no less, with a fully built 2.4l engine, port and polished head, 272 cams, 1000cc injectors, walbro fuel pump custom ecuflash tune from FFTec and the Teprah MOD setup to autopass all the tests the car is supposed to pass. Tech thought it was stock and I didn't correct him.
Going to be selling my car so needed a new smog; being in Fresno and seeing Kaj's post I expected the sniffer test as well but it looks like at least one smog shop is doing the new test now. Didn't ask too many questions as I didn't know they did the new test until after it happened. FWIW on my current tune with the stock exhaust the car passes the sniffer test as well.
