Default Emissions code questions

i am wanting to get a diablo predator and was wondering if i use it to delete any codes from the PCM would it cause any problems with the emissions test?

deleting the correct codes results in all readiness bits being "ready" for whatever you might want to do with those bits.

does predator even do this? of course for off road purposes only.

i am not sure, i know that you can use it as a scan tool. i thought it could be used to delete common SES codes. but i wasnt sure if removing these codes would cause problems with my emission testing. i am sure i could just return it to a stock tune for emissions purposes. but i have a code coming up and i would like to delete it so i can pass emissions. so i am stumped.

That tuner can't "delete" codes, it only clears them and turns off the ses until the PCM sees the fault again and resets it.

If there's an actual problem the light will come back on, if the problem is fixed, it will stay off.
