Lightbulb Tuning out trouble codes.

I can finally read my stock ECU with the piggybacked FAST system. Now, I'm getting the following codes:

48 - MAF fail
41 - EST Open
43 - Knock sensor (probably because I broke the wire changing a spark plug)
18 - Injector something or another

Can I tune these out? At least enough to pass safety?

TIA.

And it looks like the answer is yes. Bryan at PCMForLess says he can hook me up.

Do they actually hook up to an OBD-I PCM and read the codes as part of the emissions/safety check? I thought that was only used for OBDII.

I run the stock ECM in parallel with a MoTeC, and simply cut the wire for the SES bulb.

I was under the impression that they did. At least my mechanic said that if we couldn't connect at all (which was a previous problem) we couldn't pass.
