This isn't quite true... you can't have any CELs and the ECU has to properly report that the self-tests have completed correctly. Which is why if you've got a persistent CEL for an emissions related reason that keeps popping up, you can't get away with just clearing the CEL right before you get smogged... right after clearing it, there's no ready flag set for the test that's causing the CEL.
