2003 Toyota Tundra has engine light on. The code is speed control. Will it pass smog without fixing?

My 2003 Toyota Tundra has the engine light on code is for Speed control Sensor. The cruise control also does not work. Will this vehicle pass smog since the code is not emmissions related.
Answer:

Contrary to public belief, the Check Engine light being illuminated anytime during the smog inspection is automatically a smog failure. Vehicle manufacturers have placed the Check Engine light inside the passenger compartment to inform the driver there has been or is an engine or drive train malfunction. Very often you may not notice an engine problem, but this is only because your engine's computer is operating under pre-programmed information rather then of real-time. In other words the problem still exists but your engine learns to live with it. In this particular case you'll absolutely need to fix your Toyota Tundra's speed control problem and make sure the check engine light turns off before having your truck retested. posted by SmogTips Support
