If the check engine light is on will the car automatically fail the smog test? 1999 volvo, s80

I have a 1999 volvo, s80 and the check engine light comes on quite frequently. I do not want to put any more money towards repairs but I do want to renew the registration. Will the check engine light mean an automatic failure of the smog test?
Answer:

Yes, unfortunately an intermittent or constantly illuminated check engine light on your Volvo S80 will cause it to fail the smog check. I have to recommend having your Volvo's check engine light trouble diagnosed before the smog inspection.
