So I just read on google that as long as all monitors are ready with the exception of EVAP your car will pass. Can anyone confirm that EVAP does NOT need to be ready to pass smog in CA?

I'm trying to pass smog. I'm using a Diaglink for scanning. Scanner says MIL is off. Also CEL on dash is off.

Only reason I tried calling the dealer is because I read someone here did it and they turned on there monitors, free of charge. I just got done driving for hours and when i saw the EVAP was still incomplete i got frustrated and thought what the hell I'll try calling the dealer too. My dealer technician actually said they can turn it on but they would still have to "diagnose" AKA have me fork over $250.
