We have flashed a car with a license only, no parts changes, no check engine lights and no tune and it failed inspection and got sent to MAC.

The only thing I find confusing about the information in the entire thread are the statements here. So its being stated that any reflashing will trigger the machine to immediately send the car to MAC to be inspected by the state police. This is quite scary that even if nothing was changed on the car reflashing alone from the stock ECU would send the car to MAC. However, how does the machine determine dealer vs uprev reflashing? Does it have some sort of method or database of every stock ECU so it can compare/determine that there was a non authorized reflash?

All readyness codes must be set
All hardware that is listed by the manufacturer on the car must be listed as available.
This seems to be something that they don't understand.

This is where I am confused. If an all stock car was given an uprev reflash in this test why would the car not be transmitting all readyness codes and all hardware available? If nothing was removed and the car is all stock there is no need to delete CEL codes. I would 100% believe MA has a way to check now for removed/deleted codes and send you to MAC for inspection. But I cant quite understand how if your CEL is off naturaly how/why they would flag you and send you to there.
