This is true; the check engine light being on is an automatic emissions test
failure. Our recommendation is you have a certified smog repair mechanic
inspect your Jeep. Along with Check Engine light being on there are trouble
codes stored in the emissions control computer which the smog technician
will be able to retrieve and use to pin point the trouble your Jeep is
having. As far as registering your Jeep in California... Once the check
engine light problem is fixed and the Jeep's emissions results fall within
California's emissions cut scores you'll be able to register your car here.
A used vehicle which is imported to California CAN be registered here as
long as it passes the smog check. No additional emissions parts are needed,
only the emissions parts your Jeep was manufactured with.
