Emmisions test required

[swathdiver]

they only give you a weeks notice? here in Commiefornia you get 90 days notice once every 2 years, then they just hook it to a computer and your done in 5 minutes.

Wes, that new pickup truck is looking better every day!

Drove it 90 miles and went to auto zone and still had open cycles left.So yes its strange you need to have so many cold starts and varying speeds using cruise control and what not.I went to the chevy dealer to see my buddy used to work their.He hooked up the tech 2 and said you have only 1 light on that hasnt completed its cycle.He said your allowed 1 on go test you'll pass-he was right all done.So have to do this every 2 yrs.What is the battery tender device that lets you change battery without losing your ecm specs i cant find it.I disconnect my battery over winter so im not messing with bad battery in spring i dont use the tahoe over the winter.Winter up here chew vehicles up in no time.

250 miles will do it still need one for the EVAP but i'm at 800miles so far still not ready on that one

Best idea would to put it on Non-Op if you don't drive it tell your ready DON"T try and smog it other wise you may get an Abort or Fail on the history... and will lower the resale value of it as it goes on the car fax

Google "battery tender" - you'll get lots of info.

ya you know what's weird is that truck has all kinds of "not ready" emission's with 26k on it I have driven it a 1000 miles since I bought it and haven't disconnected the battery so I don't know what's up with that but it still doesn't have to have a smog inspection for 50 months.

Check to see if there are any old codes. Also, any random CEL's during that period? I think a CEL affects the monitors.

no codes, there were some historical codes the dealer was able to pull up "magically" as usual but no cel or anything unusual. I had them make me a copy I have to take my kids to school and then I will post them up I don't think they were emissions related though.

Mine only took a week of driving to reset and pass the test here in SE PA.

 

[Doubeleive]

so on mine the old historical codes were p0097 iat sensor circuit low bank 1, p0113 iat sensor high bank 1, p2227 barometric pressure sensor "A" circuit range/performance, p2228 barometic pressure sensor "A" circuit low, p00f4 humidity sensor circuit low.
they all say test failed since code cleared, no cel. really weird codes.......

C-Tek makes some great little chargers that you can mount under the hood and wire permanently to the battery to maintain the battery over your layup, leaving the battery connected.

Which of the emissions show as not ready?
