    If I run my drive cycle and finally get my OBD Scanner to show green, how long will have to take it to shop for emissions before the next cycle happens and computer runs selftest? For example I am afraid its green and suddenly right before the shop, it runs cycle and check engine light comes on? What is my time limit in this case?

    • @stevew9563
      @stevew9563 Před rokem

      Are you trying to pass a SMOG in CA? You actually do not need the fuel monitor to be ready to pass smog. The Continuous monitors are ignored on CA smog checks. Not many inspectors know this so you get some resistance to them running the test but just ask them to please run the test. It will pass.
      If you would like to see where this information is search for "CA On-Board Diagnostic Test Reference
      " See section C footnote 3

So that I can travel from Michigan to Arkansas to see my sister ( she's in a wheelchair she has had a stroke a little over a year ago) I want to be able to travel and do things with my sister before it's too late.

    If the Evap System is the only system "not ready" , does the entire emission test drive need to be performed ? or can it be abbreviated (2014 Hyundai Sonata 2.0L engine)

    • @RANDOMFIX
      @RANDOMFIX  Před 8 měsíci

      Hi Thomas you might be okay with just the evap not ready but this depends on your state. As of august 1st 2023 I believe the evap needs to be ready in California but I’ve heard otherwise from viewers
      czcams.com/video/JrXOAVkK42E/video.htmlsi=7ZNOAl-sJvkp6qZx
      In Oregon for example the evap must be ready, so there are many rules depending where you live.
      I would call a local shop and i am planning on making a video about looking it up for yourself next week.
      And not to rub in Texas in my county there is no smog tests!
      Good luck and keep me posted.

      Brand new? Check to make sure your battery is ideal and start vehicle and just it idle for 20 minutes and drive around town for 15 minutes at 35 to 45 mph. Out of curiosity why do you need a smog on a 2020+ vette?

    • @PurnellPictureShow
      @PurnellPictureShow Před rokem

      @@RANDOMFIX Because of the insane CA markups, I purchased it in PA and got it at sticker price. CA requires all vehicle with out of state registrations to get a smog check. Even though the car has a sticker that says it was built to CA emission standards.

    • @RANDOMFIX
      @RANDOMFIX  Před rokem +1

      I hear on the markup bs that dealers are adding on!
      Check all the o2 connections and connectors. Just un clip and click the connector back on. Honestly I had a similar situation with another viewer and the poor guy got the run around for a few months. I actually just text him and when he provides me the vette specific drive cycle I will forward it to you. Please check in with me in 5 days.

    • @stevew9563
      @stevew9563 Před rokem +1

      Probably already got this resolved but for future reference GM does not allow some monitors to run in the first 1000 miles of the cars life. You can go to the state Referee and get a passing test with the Monitors incomplete as long as the car is CA equipment equipped and is under 1000 miles.

    • @PurnellPictureShow
      @PurnellPictureShow Před rokem

      @stevew9563 LOL. That would have been good to know. The sensors finally all became "complete". I just drove it more. It was around 900 miles. Thanks for the the info though.
