So I've had straight pipes on for about a year and I have to do my emissions now. I went ahead and got an Osiris reflash on my ECU and had the CEL codes deleted. Now when I go to get my emissions done, their monitors are reading "not ready"
I know this might be because the drive cycle hasn't completed yet, but maybe its a normal problem with the Osiris reflash, which puts it into "not ready" forever?
Any opinions?

EDIT: Ive driven about 70 miles since having the reflash done.

 

You might need to put your catalytic converters back on the car. That might resolve your problem.

 

Not sure if serious.

 

I'm dead serious. If I understand emission testing, you have to get past the "not ready" status in order to pass the test. You may need your cats to get it past the emission test.

 

Erm, right, it won't help if the tune *has* put them in that state.

Anyway, whilst i can't find it now, in the service manual, there is a section that tells you how to perform a learning drive cycle (or something) which explains what driving style, what speeds and how many ignition on/off cycles are needed to "most quickly" get all the sensors reporting back.

 

you need to get reflashed and turn the cel light back on. it will never say ready otherwise

 

Interesting,

I have a friend who had straight pipes, and was throwing codes who reflashed with osiris, and was able to pass emissions that way.
