Default TPMS and smog check in Cali...

Any californians know if having the TPMS LIGHT ON will cause the smog check in CALIFORNIA TO AUTOMATICALLY FAIL BECAUSE OF THAT LIGHT TO COME ON?

4states will fail if light on.
Have a Mazda3 it passed smog check with light on in CA.
DMV reasoning to fail... incorrect tire pressure affects fuel economy, better reason saftey.

It wouldn't be smog, maybe inspection would fail it

You'll be fine. A check engine light will cause you to fail, but a TPMS light isn't an issue.

California doesn't have vehicle inspections, just a smog check.
