I'm quoting a statement thejeremyman9 made in an exchange regarding your question on a different thread with me.

" in California as of summer last year, you will need to reinstall your stock tune and relock the DME (in addition to having the hardware needed for emission monitors, etc). That should be enough as it doesnt sound like the check will be able to determine if the car was historically reprogrammed (like a flash counter), but just that it has programming from the approved list when tested.

EDIT: The other thing worth nothing is that this would be a major concern if you have a upgraded HPFP that requires the flash option to function properly because you would likely be in a catch 22 situation, unable to flash back to stock even temporarily. "


Basically, CA can now detect if your DME has been remapped and it's an automatic referal to State Ref if you fail.
