drive the car on the freeway for like 15 mins to heat up the cat and then go to the smog place, when you get there dont turn off your car or your cat will cool down

well, I did exactly what you suggested but still fail the test. It fails the "CEL" and it says recent reset has been detected

stock ecu, I believe its obd2?
it says "this vehicle failed the MIL/CEL test due to failure to successfully complete all OBD self tests.

Not everything is gonna be "ready" after 15 mins of driving. That's how they found out you recently reseted because some will still be "incomplete"
mmmBWWAAAHHHH
