How do you set up an emissions monitor?
The second part runs after the vehicle has sit for 8 or more hours (cold soak) without being driven.

The EVAP monitor should be complete.
What do you need to know about inorder to pass inspection?
Inorder to pass inspection your car needs to complete a full drive cycle so that all (8) internal monitors have a status of “Ready”. If any of the (8) monitors have a status of “Incomplete” that means you have not yet completed a full drive cycle and you need to drive your car around more.
Can you pass emissions without 6 ” ready ” monitors?
I can’t pass emissions without having 6 of the 7 “ready”. I read somewhere (possibly on here but can’t find it) that if you go into your DTC’s and set them all to “3” (No error reported), that all your emissions readiness monitors will automatically set to “ready”.
How can I tell if my OBD II monitor is ready?
The MIL will not flash at all and will remain fully illuminated until you turn OFF the ignition or start the engine. This means that your vehicle’s OBD II system is ready and you can proceed to the smog check station.
What happens if the monitor does not set?
If you don’t do the sequence exactly right, the monitor will not run, period. The older cars were simple compared to this real late model stuff. My advice is to deal with it, I know that’s easier said than done but you getting all tweaked out of shape isn’t going to get the monitors to set.

How many incomplete monitors are allowed in a car?
Gasoline vehicles: – 1996-1999 model year vehicles will be allowed one incomplete readiness/emission monitor. – 2000 and newer model year vehicles will need all emission monitors in READY or COMPLETE status, with the exception of the EVAP monitor. AN incomplete evaporative monitor will not cause a smog check failure.

Do you have to set your monitor while driving?
During normal driving the ECU will perform the neccessary internal self-tests required to set the monitors. However, due to individual driving habits and/or patterns, sometimes the drive cycle parameters are not met during ordinary driving, and following a drive cycle specifically designed for your vehicle will be required.
