Check engine light being on does not make it fail emissions, its all about the sniffer readings.

Thanks for the info. I'm actually worried that the intermittent cylinder misfire is what's going to fail it.

Pretty sure they now will not pass a vehicle that has an active CEL.

This was true, but I think they changed it back.

I looked it up and you and sportbikeco are right.

I stand corrected. CEL is only noted on the forms.

I guess I shouldn't have bothered clearing mine before I went in (TC lock up failure).

This is true, had a kid working with us and passed the sniffer and other parts of the emissions, but failed due to the CEL, he reached up under the dash and pulled the lamp, went back a few days later and passed..........
