Doing a little more digging and it would seem that Will’s theory is pretty good. Hardware ID’s on LS1a/b PCM’s read as N/A whereas an E38/E67 (newer GM) PCM actually has a serial number. I just pulled back a scan on 3 cars out of my driveway and the LS1 pcm doesn’t report a CAL ID at all and the '07 Cobalt and '06 G6 both do. I gather that this has a lot to do with the year of the vehicles more than anything. ---

Or you could just pay the damn ticket. It’s the same fee as no front plate which many of us don’t have to begin with. ---

I’ll just stick to bikes, no need to surrender plates when take off insurance, no OBD2 BS, no issues with registration if not inspected for years. :dunno ---

What I’m getting at is you could theoretically use the older LS camaro PCM and it will report monitors ready and not DTCs without the extra info(serial #). If you used a new PCM and it throws out a serial # then DMV would see it go wtf and red flag the inspection and come check out the car. Again I emphasize this is just my theory, in my experience DMV isn’t free with info to allow us to do stuff that they don’t want us to. ---
