I might not pass smog?

Let me first tell you about my car.. 03 G35 Sedan, Air Suspension, Only a nismo cai intake w/ no filter right now, and stock everything else. This car is literally straight OEM, just exterior mods no engine work or anything. Cleaned the throttle body, and maf sensor. Just changed the oil & coolant & filter. I baby this car, give it so much attention and don't even drive it.

So my smog was due today but instead of going to them first I went to my shop and hooked up my Snap-On MODIS scanner to the car to check the Global OBDII, and it's telling me that my o2 sensor testing is not complete? I have no check engine lights or anything, but the computer says that one of the emission things isn't ready, I'm not too sure why..

My dad said it might be a faulty o2 sensor, but I'm going insane with the time and money its taking from me, it's just annoying. You guys think I'll still passed? I passed before, I drove only about 16k mile son this car since my last smog. I'm not too big on emission controls, but my dad is ase certified on that stuff he says I won't pass but I figured I'd get more opinions lol. Just cus I'm an ******* of a son.

I haven't driven my car since thanksgiving, and took it out for a good 8 mile drive today lmao. No beating, just casual driving testing out my new suspension.

Any advice to pass? I don't want to go to the test station & fail and then get a new o2 sensor and might fail that, and then go to a TEST ONLY station and can't go "special" smog anymore lol.

i say just change the 02 sensor and go for it...most of the time that's what causes cars not to pass imo.

i assume you just reconnected or reinstalled your battery today since you said you haven't had it out since Tgiving. if this is true then all the power was drained from the ecu which resets it. when you power it back up, you need to drive the car at least 50 miles or so while the ecu checks everything out to make sure all is working correctly.
