The ABS INOP, BRAKE, and TCS OFF lights go on and off randomly. I think it's because of a loose sensor or something. I don't know. Inspection is due this month. If the lights are on while I'm getting it inspected, will it pass?

my ses used to come on randomly in my old car. too get it off i would disconnect the battery for a while then hook it back up. the light would usually stay off for a day or two.

You won't fail with a stored code, as long as the MIL is not being commanded on at the time of inspection. If the MIL is not being commanded on the inspection computer will not query the PCM for stored codes, only for readiness status for all the monitors. I believe the law allows 2 not ready's for 2001 and older, and 1 for 2002 and newer. Usually the evap system takes a long time to get "ready" (a full tank of gas or so) so I guess thats why they let you pass with a 1 or 2 not ready.
You shouldn't fail for any lights on other than the "service engine soon" (abs/tcs/etc does not matter). Of course make sure all your lights and horn and that kind of stuff works, you don't want to fail for something stupid like that.

From my understanding (we havent tried it) But if you have a buddies camaro that will pass, bring it up there and if the inspection place is cool. Just enter in your cars VIN, but hook it up to the other car. I would bring both cars up there if I were you and then put the new sticker on your car. ..
May or may not work.. The Computer has your VIN stored in it and thats what its checking now- But were not sure if it just checks to see if its just a camaro or if it checks the VIN they type in and then check it agaist your computer.. PM me if you have questions
Thanks
Did that make sense???

Then you should have nothing to worry about. As long as the light isnt active at the time of inspection you should be good to go. The reason I asked is because I have heard of people disabling (unplugging) their SES light thinking they could pass inspection that way.
