Default Any code and CEL light?

When the cel light comes on and the code I had is fixed-and cel light is gone-do you still have to go thru many cycles to pass a plug in smog test or can you pass a smog right away?

OK So your saying if the cel light is out-after afew mile drive-doesn't mean it will pass plug in test smog? We are allowed 1 or 2 not ready to pass-would that work?

Clear your codes with the DIC. I can clear mine and go from Desert Inn to Sahara to Rainbow and everything has reset
