I think some states allow like 3 codes to be present (other than big ones, like 2nd Cat efficiency too low) before they fail you. So if those Automatic ones are flagging, that means you would have zero leeway.
My wifes car throws a CEL/MIL everyonce in a while, and when we went to get it inspected I reset the PCM, but it still failed "O2 heater circuit" or something like that. Anyways, they passed it because it was only 1 code.
Just something to consider as the cars get older and weird CEL's start popping up that really have no affect on the operation of the car.
