You are on the right track, it would be good if you had a scan tool to see if there are any markers, the fact that you replaced the battery could make for the dreaded Catalyst not ready. I just had this with my son's 2000 and I did have to replace the front Catalytic converter with the CA legal replacement for $250. Once we did that only the EVAP monitor showed not ready, but that is allowable in CA so it passed no problem. But you should just drive it a bit and have it tested, like

If you have any concern at all about tailpipe emissions, you can do a few tricks to help it along - even as simple as just keeping it running when you get to the smog shop and driving at least 5 miles before you go there.

Good luck!
