My neighbor asked me to reset her check engine light (evap valve has failed) because her son is taking the G2 driving test and they will fail him if the light is on. I'm not current of what is required when taking the road test but I find this extremely weird to have as a must. Anyone heard of this before or know where to find official info on this?

Never heard of that, what happens if the light goes on during the test. Seems like a poor reason to fail a driving exam.

There is certainly a list of must have's for using your own car for a G2 test but that is not one of them. More to do with saftey, unobstructed views etc etc

Found something that looks official, no mention of check engine light.

My daughter just did her G2 with the 24K Service Wrench clearly visible on the dash, no issues.

We had to put electrical tape on the backup camera lens and on the multifunction screen to block the messages tho, kinda looks crappy but no issues.

The fact sheet refers to a vehicle defect under the Highway Traffic Act, not the Environmental Protection Act. So the check engine light should not be a no go item.
