I brought my camry to Toyota(dealership) due to engine light is on. The technican found out the EGR valve has malfunction. He fixed the problem.

Today I didn't pass the smog check because of the malfunction indicator light/check engine light due to failure to successfully complete all OBD self tests. What should I do now. Please help

    If the Toyota dealer shop can't figure out what to do, find a Toyota specialist to help you pass the "readiness" tests. He could do the SMOG check too.
