Default RE: Can't smog.

Same thing happen to me. Had to take it to another garage to smog. It worked at another shop. Do you have an aftermarket stereo? This could be the problem why your OBD2 plug won't communicate withe the smog computer. Don't take it to the STEALERSHIP if you have a aftermarket radio. They will charge you $300 just to re-wire it.
