You can’t pass with the CEL on, but if you have stored codes and the CEL is off you’re OK because they don’t scan pre OBD 2 cars. Are you sure the code is for a cat? The rest is visual. ---

As far as I knew on pre-OBD2 cars the don’t even look for a check engine light. But to answer the question, All it needs is to have the emission components installed, they don’t have to work. Visual only. ---

Question… I believe some cars had OBDII in 1995, do they have to pass like the 1996 cars do? ---
