re: Paging OT mechanics OBDII Not Ready status (Update)

THE VEHICLE HAS TO GO THROUGH "DRIVE CYCLES" Different manufactures have different dutys you must perform before getting the all clear. You haven't done nearly enough real life driving to clear that code out. It's usually like 200 miles of mix city/hwy driving for Chevys

Thanks Meauxjeaux2... I'll keep driving it and hopefully I can get the ready status for the last two points.

I stopped at the inspection station and asked the guy how many not ready flags I was allowed. He looked at me in a confused look and said he wasn't sure. He's seen not ready flags but never counted them. So I know in LA you can get not ready flags and still pass, just don't know how many and for which points. The place was getting painted so they weren't taking customers at that particular time. I may stop at another inspection station and ask them.
