That does depend on the state and the methods they use... Here in NH
you can clear the codes and immediately run the emissions and pass it.
Other states the various monitors must be run to completion (usually a
complete drive cycle) to pass--it varies.
Best bet, if you have to do emissions, is to clear the codes about a
week before. If they come back quickly, there's a problem you probably
will have to address. If not, you are just plain lucky!
