Its 3 years untill your first test. I just took my van in for testing.They simply plugged it into the odbII reader and checked for codes. Pass. No sniffer test unless its a 1995 or older. Keeping your car a sleeper helps alot too.

Should the car pass as long as there aren't any codes being thrown?

since when does Illinois test for smog? I grew up in illinois and I never had to smog my car. This must be a new thing cause i used to drive an 82 chevy malibu classic with dual exhaust, straght from the engine, no cats what so ever. Stupid global warming!!!
