R MOOSE Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Car: 96 850R 150k on it. I went for the 3rd time to do the emissions today and they keep telling me the same thing,"your car isnt reading...you need to put more miles on it". I have put over 600mi on it since the 1st time I went there 3 weeks ago! The car isn't throwing any cels/no lights on the dash. Has anyone else had this problem? I really need help here.My temp plates are up in 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yangotang Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 hmm. i don't know how specifically this applies in CT, but at least in CA, OBD-II readiness became such an issue that the BAR exempted readiness when reading from the sniffer. you may want to have a look and see if this is also the case.

flyfishing3 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 It has to cycle Not sure of exact ways, I believe it's buried on my site Dan Has to do with speed, miles, stops, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R MOOSE Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 how long does it take to cycle? Is there a certain thing i have to do to get the "not ready" to say "ready"? I have been driving it for 3 weeks now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keaton85 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Most of the time you will see the O2 sensor categories go into ready pretty quickly. MAYBE your rear O2 is being finicky? idono but that part is strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R MOOSE Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 oh and thanks Mike, I will try and find it on your site. Most of the time you will see the O2 sensor categories go into ready pretty quickly. MAYBE your rear O2 is being finicky? idono but that part is strange. Wouldn't that throw a cel?

Keaton85 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 That's why I think it's strange since no codes pending or mature are present. If the O2 was acting up you would get a slow respond, cat. efficiency or preheat circuit malfunction code. Has your battery died at all over this time period?

I have been driving it for 3 weeks now! It has to do with so many miles at X then so many at X If its all highway. You won't hit the lower values needed or vice versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R MOOSE Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I drive both highway and back roads every day Should I just fill the tank and go drive it all day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Will Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I have this problem with my '98 since I re-registered it in Arizona...it won't pass the readiness check anymore. I drove 900 miles with all sorts of driving and it still would not turn ready. I'll try again at Christmas with some tweaks Lucky made to my SAS readiness (I removed the system years ago). Some states have exempted '98s from reading ready but unfortunately AZ is not one of them. I never had trouble in NY and they also plug in to the OBD-II port... The drive cycle is available on the web somewhere but even if you follow it, sometimes it doesn't go to ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
