Hey guys... Im reposting here and there im hopes I can get an answer here, & hopefully help sum1 else out...
Has any1 had any issue passing smog tests in CA after the 411 swap..? I heard that it will not pass because the pcm will read as a 02 chevy express van... And I think just on looks... That in CA u can not swap pcms... I mean sure I could just swap my old black box in but c'mon re-pinning once is hard enough im not trying to do this every time im going to smog... so looking 2 hear back from u guys especially u Californians...
I don't live in California but here's some stuff that may be relevant to your situation:
You may need to change the VIN on the PCM to read as a different vehicle using something such as EFILive.

You may also have to correctly apply ALL emissions equipment e.g., "EGR, O2, AIR, EVAP, Charcoal Canister, fuel tank pressure sensor and level, etc..."
