I don't know if you have Torque Pro, but it does have a nice feature in that it lets you check your emissions readiness monitors. If you have to clear any codes it will tell your when they a ready.

Also make sure that the readiness monitor is set or you won't pass.

And the type of test depends on your county in CA - ours is only visual and OBDII plugged into their computer. Ours just passed a couple weeks ago too... BTW: I asked my smog guy about PCV catch cans in general and he said as long as he can follow the lines to the can and back to where it normally goes into intake stream, and can tell it is a closed loop, they're just fine...

Same procedure here in Fresno county. Never had any problems passing my (2) 6.0's but they were both 100% stock.

I'm in Kern County and I haven't done a smog in a couple of years. I didn't know if anything changed.
