Catless DP's & OBD Readiness
My car has Catless DP's, JB3, DCI and the BMS 02 Sim. After researching for the past hour I now understand that after clearing codes that you are supposed to drive the car around in order to set the OBD status to "ready". However, by the time I have already logged some miles on the car it will just throw another SES light and I'll be back at square 1 again.
I cleared all codes this morning with my Bavtech cable before my inspection thinking it would help and not knowing it would actually make things worse. This is the result after doing so: Catalyst: Not Ready Evaporative Sytem: Not Ready Oxygen Sensor: Not Ready Oxygen Sensor Heater: Not Ready Not really sure where to go from here. Help is much appreciated. |

You need to complete a drive cycle in order to reset readiness. You can use this as a guide. I have found that other than the first step, cold start, the others can be done in any order. Good luck.

If it's still throwing codes, you need to adjust the strength of the DP Fix.

This....eventually you will get to the point were the light no longer comes on and the emission is in a state of readiness. At this point you should pass smog inspection unless your state requires a sniffer test.

I think you can just use a small screwdriver to turn the trim pot. |

Thanks for the help. I thought I should also mention that my car has been throwing these following codes. I'm aware that the misfiring means one of my coil packs is bad which I will be having the dealer replace, but as far as the other codes go is there a possibility that several of the 02 Sensors have failed? It would make sense since every time I clear them they pop back up.
