Guys below are a few SMC error im facing, Already done a PRAM, SMC reset, disk utility verified and permission repaired, rebuilding index, font book check but problem still persist. & also this terminal code that fixes user permisions:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-

I wonder if Avast is the cause here. AV programs are notorious for breaking with system updates.

 

[georgegates5]

So i should i try uninstalling avast and reistalling it again?

Yes, give that a try.

Even better, uninstall full stop.

 

[georgegates5]

In 10.9 we have debug version of SMC kext. It's just a debug log, do not try to take any message for the error. In your case, the system tries to check for I/O panel lights sensor that is on the new Mac Pro 2013. Of course it's not present on your macbook and you see in log that the system cant't find it

Ah, that's what's going on... did you try cloning a Mac Pro image to a different Mac?

For what?
Mac Pro has a hardware sensor which is controlled by SMC chip, SMC chip has the keys for reading/writing data. Without hardware sensor we can't get SMC key which is not in the SMC firmware.

Misunderstanding, that question was directed at the OP, not at you.

This thread shows why chasing console messages when you don't have any issues leads to problems and misunderstandings.

I will state once again that not everything in the Console is a problem. Many items are just notifications developers leave in there for potential troubleshooting in the future for themselves.

If done right, developers should be assigning severities to messages. Use Console's filtering to only see messages of "Level" greater than "Error" and I'd wager your Console logs will look pretty sparse if not actually empty.

Should you browse your Console logs if you're having a problem? Absolutely.

Should you browse your Console logs if you're not having issues? Only if you know what to look for, IMHO.
