Therefore the CEL deleter mentioned in this thread doesn't help you in NY or CA at least so there's really no point to it other than turning off the light. The light has absolutely no effect other than annoying the driver so why bother with the deleter?
I agree, CA is the same way - but remains connected via OBDII while sampling/dyno.

It depends on the primary intentions of the deleter - is it targeted as mainly a convenience option (firewalling the code) or truly simulating O2 operation?
