I deleted the CELs in the parking lot. There is no way any of my readiness monitors set. So I can confirm 98s do NOT need to set monitors, at least for the rest of 2013. FWIW, the guy said he had to run the test as normal, and not skip the monitor section. I still passed, of course, as the exception is built into the program. Also, although the version of Appendix J i posted is not the most recent, I have looked at the new one and for Volvos, its the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpin Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 My 98 passed with readiness lights still flashing. The Smog guy said that its not required on some cars, Volvo being one of them. The Machine makes the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
