Disconnecting the smog sensor on a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant can trigger the check engine light and cause the vehicle to fail emissions tests. The engine control unit (ECU) may interpret the disconnection as a fault, potentially leading to reduced engine performance or efficiency. Additionally, this action could result in increased emissions and may violate local environmental regulations. It's advisable to address any issues with the sensor rather than disconnecting it.
It has to be repaired. A recent reset is an auto fail. You can't have any resets in last 100 miles, but it is easy and cheap to replace
