      Nobody knows what they are testing. It is as fake as the diesel emission scandal. Why does a car manufacturer hide an issue with the car and only secretly tells the DMV every other year as a surprise for the owner?
      The most efficient engines are the ones that convert every molecule of the fuel to CO2 and H2O, how do you measure the CO2? Scientists do not know that to this date.

    I want to provide you with an update as I went to a different Toyota dealership as they resolved my emission rejection issues. This is by disconnecting the battery, plug it back in and recharge the battery, drive it around, and take it in for emissions testing. As a result this passed and was an electrical glitch. They went above and beyond for that I'm grateful. Their customer service was most gracious, very professional, and they are willing to work with you is a plus for me. I wasn't charged for this service. I want to thank you for providing me information with the oxygen sensor that I wasn't aware of. In my case this was an electrical issue as the drive cycle would not have worked for me, but this may work for someone else. It's very hard to find an area to drive the vehicle at 60 mph and let it go without braking down to 25 mph. The expressway its easier to go up to 55 mph and let it go without braking down to 30 mph depending on the traffic of course. It's your time that is most valued.

      Struggling with a stubborn permanent diagnostic trouble code (PDTC) ahead of a smog test? Here's your solution. Unlike regular codes, PDTCs can't be manually deleted; the vehicle must verify the issue is resolved. Alternatively, you can complete 15 warm-up cycles and drive 200 miles without the issue reoccurring. Once these conditions are met, even if the code persists, a smog technician can confirm your eligibility to pass the test. Rest assured, your vehicle can pass with a PDTC once the specified criteria are fulfilled, ensuring a hassle-free inspection process.

      Are you checking since last cleared? That’s what you should be checking or use the inspection monitor (I/m) button.
      Your ecu is probably not resetting it maybe losing power so check the connections especially the main ground at the battery.

    • @stevew9563
      @stevew9563 Před 9 měsíci

      If you passed the test than chances are you were looking at the wrong monitor reporting screen. There are 2 screens in most scanners. One is Monitor Status "Since DTC's Cleared" and the other is Monitor Status "This Drive Cycle". For a smog test you only care about "Since DTC's Cleared". Ignore the other one.

    I have a 2014 Toyota Corolla as last year in 2023 the original battery was replaced. Also, when the original battery was jumped-started in order for me to get the vehicle to the dealership to have the battery replacement and asked if there is anything else wrong with the vehicle at that time. The vehicle drives no problem as we never had a problem until the rejected emissions testing. This vehicle won't pass emissions because the Oxygen Sensor, Oxygen Heat Sensor, and the Catalyst Converter is incomplete/not ready. The dealership has refused to resolve my issue(s) as they blame it on the mileage of the vehicle and drive way more like a truck driver. I had them run the diagnosis which confirmed everything is fine except for the sensors and the converter is not complete and would result in a pass in emissions. I asked them if there are any sensors in the vehicle besides the tire ones they told me no. Over a month ago, the driver sensor failed as they replaced that and reconfigured the monitor and odometer, and checked everything else. And despite all of this, still another rejected emissions. I tried the drive cycle steps by driving it around a lot and this still doesn't work. Am trying to get my state to end the emissions testing as this is a waste of time, resources, and restricts one's ability to drive freely. Have enough on my plate while caregiving for an elderly parent. I hope you understand where I am coming from and am tired of it. Anything else?

      Normally the catalyst monitor is the last to set. You need your focus on just setting that oxygen sensor heater monitor as that is normally the first monitor to set. Did the dealer replace upstream oxygen sensor replaced? This is oxygen sensor before the catalytic converter.

      @@RANDOMFIX No, my mileage is abnormal. It was a battle to get the dealership to look into anything. I saw that video and isn't helping with my situation. I can't find a place where I can drive straight at over 55 mph and let it go to 25 mph. The dealership failed me. I asked them every time I went in to look into everything. I'll call them up on this once again, but I will have to have file another extension on the emissions. Over a year since the battery was replaced and they blame it on me, when the fault was their own, really?

      Sorry I don’t follow what are saying. Your check engine is off but you catalyst monitor is ready or not ready?

      @RANDOMFIX Yes, Im trying to get a smog check, and my check engine light is not on ... but according to the smog tech guy said that my catalyst monitor is not ready to pass the smog check. . So the smog tech guy keeps telling me to run the car more days ( wich I already ran it for over 2 weeks) until the catalyst monitor checks good on the pre ready test . So I don't know what else to do.

      Drive steady at 55 mph for 20 min without cruise control or anything on like heat or AC after some brand vehicles needed to be done a few times of this same process

    Anyone failed smog because of a cracked windshield?

    • @RANDOMFIX
      @RANDOMFIX  Před měsícem

      Never heard a windshield being the determining factor in fail a smog test however some states have a smog and safety. Maybe the state you are has a visual requirement that is incorporated into the smog test? Let me know what state you are in?

      what are you driving? I would focus on a warm-up as this monitor can be harder to set during the colder months. This whole playlist is just for incomplete catalyst monitors. czcams.com/video/BuZYAy_xi0E/video.html

      I have a 2013 F-250 6.7 diesel with 210,000 miles. Recently my batteries needed replacement. I believe this erased my readiness codes. I followed your 6 step procedure and all but (1) codes have reset to ready.
      I have the code EGS (Exhaust Gas System) that shows not ready. Do you have any suggestions how I can perform a drive cycle to make this one code ready?
      Thank you
