The procedure for all 2000 and newer cars is an OBD2 diagnostics check. If all the monitors are set to ready...then you're good to go. They also do a visual check for any non-CARB compliant modifications.

Plus when you buy a new car you don't need to smog it for the 1st 4 years--So no reason to panic if your car is a new C7---yet--
No more sniffer I calif---as of late-what they look at now is to see IF you have a check engine light-----If your "readiness tests" are all set to ready and finally VISUALLY to see if you have added or changed any parts that are non CARB certified--
