Q
can i pass smog with check engine light
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Generally, it's highly unlikely to pass a smog test if your check engine light (CEL) is on. The CEL is an indicator of emissions system issues that often direct towards malfunctioning components affecting your vehicle's exhaust cleanliness. In most jurisdictions, smog test procedures include an OBD-II inspection, where the vehicle's onboard diagnostics system is checked for emission-related fault codes. An illuminated CEL typically means there's at least one fault code that could directly relate to emissions failures. However, some temporary solutions, like resetting the light just before a test, rarely work due to readiness monitors that must be completed. Your best course of action is to address the underlying issue causing the CEL to illuminate. Repairing the problem not only increases your chances of passing the smog test but also contributes to environmental protection and optimizes your vehicle's performance.
