Do the smog testing stations in your area have the ability to scan these trucks? Here in Arizona they just do an opacity test (snap test in Maricopa County or roller test in Pima County). Unless they can scan your truck, they'll never know about the AIH soft code...

It might be easier just to put the AIH back in temporarily and then go through smog...

Good thing I kept it, but the wires didnt come off too cleanly. I could probably make it work though.

The resistor is to give a draw to the power output from the relay to signal a loaded situation at KO tests. During a test, if they are actually pulling codes, then when activated the relay needs a load. Just rig up a temporary, permanent, wire going from the output of the relay to ground with 2 sets 470 ohm resistors twisted together, wrapped with electrical tape and wire loom, and connect the other end to a ground.

Thanks for the resistor info.
Thats what I was pretty sure of. They didnt scrutinize too much last time when I didnt have a CEL.

passed my test, in July....AIH deleted, wvo system, FRx, HPx....and the best thing, i JUST found out the other day, when messing with my el-cheapo scanner, that my OBD plug had no power to it. Pulled the fuse panel, only to see the fuse was missing. WHO KNOWS when that damn thing was removed...lol
