Actually there is nothing illegal in just erasing the codes then get the car smogged. When the CEL is on, many shops just erase the codes first and see if it re-occurs. As the owner, you can even naively think they solved the problem, and you are not aware that the same issue comes back, say, 200 miles later after you sold the car.
Been there, tried that. CA smog stations can tell the code has been cleared. The equipment will not pass a car with a cleared code.
