CEL on, if reset, is it possible to pass CA smog?
I have
1008 - EVAP canister purge volume control valve
0304 - Knock Sensor
if i reset the cel and take it for smog in california, assuming the lights don't come back on, is it possible to pass smog?
i am going to fix the codes, but i just dislocated my shoulder and have to go to smog soon!
thanks!

You have to do a drive cycle after the ECU reset, I've been through this.
I don't remember the drive cycle exactly, but it's something like drive between 25 and 35 for 5 minutes without pressing on the brake, then do something else, then something else.
Hopefully you can find the actual cycle instructions someplace. Unfortunately, your CEL will probably light up while you are doing the cycle if you haven't fixed the problem.

clearing the code is'nt gonna do anything,you have to fix the problem in order to turn off the light. those indicator lights are there for a reason. Whats gonna happen is this, your gonna have the code cleared drive home and then the cel is gonna come right back on.provided that you had the code cleared without fixing the problem. Your better off fixing the problem so you dont have to worry about it anymore.
