You guys are reading to much into it. The rules have long since changed. The ref will be looking at All-Data pictures and verifying all components exist. He will plug the OBD reader and make sure its all working. Done! Get it done in a non smog prone area, cause rules change if the area is polluted (Downtown any city, LA, SJ, Sac). Then he will issue you a sticker, THEN you go get it smogged. It was much different 4 years ago, but its easier now. If your worried go to the one in San Jose, at whats that college name ? Big Black guy is used to conversions.
