MAYBE IT WASNT FULLY WARMED UP WHEN YOU BROUGHT IT DOWN. SOMETIMES THEY WILL FAIL YOU IF YOU EMISSIONS SYSTEM ISNT PROPERLY WARMED UP WHEN YOU GET TESTED BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS RUNNING RICH OR APPEARS SLOW TO RESPOND.

Question, there is no timestamp associated with the codes?
I don't know if clearing my codes will work; unless it doesn't come back for awhile, at least an hour or so for me to get over to the emission test and get it tested with cleared codes.
I most likely will have to replace all my O2 sensors which sucks.
I don't know if I should pay for new O2 sensors and replace and pay for the registration or just pay a friend $200 for him to just register my car with new tabs...

i'm pretty sure those aren't old codes...the ecu will clear itself if the problem disappears for a long enough period...
are those codes stored as pending or are they active codes? if they are active, your check engine light should turn on.
do you know if you check engine light even works? when you first turn your vehicle on, the car does a self check and the CEL should turn on for a brief moment then turn off. if you don't see it go on, someone probably removed the bulb from the gauge cluster
