Found another article with a good explanation of the new testing procedure: https://www.thedrive.com/cars-101/41...tune-flash-faq
Would be interested to hear if someone has failed after flashing back to stock or has passed despite a tune. Or what the process through the referee is like in the case of a fail. Anyone had their car smogged in the last couple weeks? |

Ie no truck engines into cars and vice versa Now it is even harder as you can't even unlock Ecu for immobilizer bypass since it may create a different check sum and cause it to fail smog It's a lot of backwards laws happen, and it got worse It's not about emissions since a newer engine will ALWAYS run cleaner than one that is 20 yrs older If it was about cleaner air , they should ONLY care about what comes out the tail pipe |

Any recent Smog check experiences people has had with pure turbo and tune installed since this dumb unnecessary thing was enacted?
I've been planning to get PS2 and I'm now ready to upgrade but now I'm not too sure.... ![]()

It's so much easier, faster, and safer to check the computer versus putting the car on a dyno with a tailpipe sniffer. Quote:
Changing the tune changes the 1's and 0's, so you'll get a different checksum. Forcing a known-good value is a felony. You cannot pass the checksum using an aftermarket tune. Stock, MPE, Dinan, etc are all certified, so they will have a valid checksum. They also check to see if your ECU is locked (supposedly preventing tunes). Even on a stock tune, you will fail with an unlocked ECU. Hardware mods that can be controlled by a stock tune won't cause a checksum failure. But you'll fail the visual if it looks aftermarket without an EO number. |

Also, the ecus can be unlocked and tuned without any traces to CAL ID/ CVN, so it's still not exactly that different. I can unlock these M2C ecus without any trace at all, anywhere.

as has been said many times in here; Flash back to stock and remove any aftermarket parts(charge pipe/bov, DP's) that may have them suspicious of a modded engine.

The unlock is a data hack in the dme. It does modify the checksums/CVN, so it will still be considered "tampered".

Your not saying much of anything, neither is the guy who you are trying to defend
Commieofornia has just had its recall election stolen in front of everyone, whats happening there is a early indicator of what 'they' plan on rolling out to the rest of the country People need to say No! |
