OBD2 Readiness Monitors with Tune

[ypena02]

Who has a tune and has gotten their O2 and O2 Heater OBD2 readiness monitors to set to "ready"? What are your mods and who's your tuner? I'm especially interested in those who are boosted. Thanks!

I've got their emissions tune as well. Mine have been red for thousands of miles now. Can't get them to go green.

I'm boosted and now stickers expired in PA - Im running Mak Cat Deletes also with Lund tune. They sent me a revised tune with o2 monitors turned on. Im about 500 miles in and still no cat-02-h02 monitors - Ordering the spacers recommended in another thread. I will report back hopefully with good news in a week or so

Just received new extensions that were created for cars with headers or No cats. I was told they have been very successful in testing. I have installed and will be going through drive cycles over the holidays if it warms up a little. I will report back the results

In for results on this. I'm probably going to end up going this route too.

Any updates?

Only minor update - the other car that is almost testing got the cat monitor on, working on evap and the o2s.

Both in the tri state area, I will not return from vacation for a other 2 days, then I can continue my night riding if weather is warm enough. I have to do my runs in the should of darkness and low traffic around 2 am

How are you all checking the readiness status? The 'ole check engine light blinking or steady when you turn your car to on?

You can check them on the nGuage, or you can order a cheap OBDII scanner and download a free app on your phone.

I have an X4, no Ngauge. By free app, are you referring to Torque?

Push the start button without starting the car. When the check engine light goes out, wait approx 15 seconds. If the CEL starts flashing after that time, the monitors are not ready. It should go off and stay off. Of course it won't tell you what the items are but you will know if something is not ready. VMP sent me a revised tune and I still don't have monitors ready. I would have to take the tune off to get an inspection.

Torque is supposedly a great application, and I believe it is only for Android users. I forgot the name of the app I use, but just type "emissions" or other similar terms into the Apple app store and see what comes up.

The cheap OBDII Scanner I have is called "ELM 327," and can be purchased on Amazon. It has come in handy many times! I used it on another non-Ford vehicle when it was throwing misfire codes so I could go to the mechanic and not get ripped off.
