These smog regulations on regular cars are so ridiculous when there are a million dump trucks clogging up the freeways belching tons of black smoke non-stop every minute of the day.
They have a LOBBY to persuade lawmakers to modify or exempt certain requirements. Regular people just go along with Gov't requirements.
I get exactly the above except for "components" which registers "not available".
It looks you got a lead to what is maybe the problem.
I can't help you here though, but if you open a new thread in your appropriate forum, you might get answers.
OK so now Im real angry. Got a citation for expired tags. By a scanner. Apparently some cars are equipped with scanners.
They scan vehicles in the area for licence plates. Mine popped up and the computer wrote a citation. REALLY!
OK so everybody tells me to drive the car. After I didn't pass I have 165 miles on the odometer. HOW long does this take? Can somebody tell me.

Not sure where you're located, but here is California one can pay the registration fee without passing the smog test to avoid having a ticket issued for expired registration and the accompanying penalties. Once the vehicle passes the smog test, the updated registration documents are then issued.

UPDATE: Finally got a P1111 code on my FIXD device. I had it smog checked and it passed. Stood in line at DMV Tues to have them so generously give me three one day passes. They knew nothing about OBD ll or driving the car. It took 227 miles to get it to go to P1111 code. I still have to pay $25 on the fix it ticket I got. NO you cant pay and drive legally. You are subject to a fine and can get a ticket. I got one. So my odyssey is nearly over. I hope? Thanks for all the advice along the way
