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.
This is the best information I have on that topic:

I know lots of places have been failing SRTs because of the auto matic transmission codes. It's not usually a matter of choice. The same machine that does the inspection prints the new sticker.
Anyway, I can't help you with your other CELs and codes. This only fixes the automatic transmission failure codes present in S2 w/ toys, S3 w/o toys and S3 w/ toys. No other kits to my knowledge have this problem.
However, that is a lot of cars in a lot of areas that will need our code scrubber...
