With eqt stage 2 tune are all of the sensors forced into ready? So I am asking because I need an inspection next month and the sensors need to read as ready.
So to get inspected I should flash to a Cobb tune so it's able to be scanned for Inspection?I dont think you can with their EQT stage 2 file as it disables some CELs for cat efficiency code etc. But you can flash any Cobb OTS file which will not affect the monitors in any way shape or form
So in order to get inspected I should flash back to a Cobb tune so it's able to be scanned?EQT tunes will not show readiness state.
Yes and then check for readiness.So in order to get inspected I should flash back to a Cobb tune so it's able to be scanned?
I did that and literally every sensor said not ready. How much do I have to drive it to get readiness to kick in? And in Massachusetts am I able to have 1 dtc and 1 not ready or do I need to have no dtc's and all ready?Yes and then check for readiness.
50 miles or so and several turn the engine on and off cycles. It's your DP causing the readiness problem. You're going to need the proper spacer for the 02 sensor. Gtijake is the best one to ask about that. There's others but his name comes to mind first. No idea on Massachusetts. That's why I saved my OEM DP.I did that and literally every sensor said not ready. How much do I have to drive it to get readiness to kick in?

Yeah I installed a right angle spacer for it so I'll see50 miles or so and several turn the engine on and off cycles. It's your DP causing the readiness problem.

Thank you. And Mass not RI. Yeah they check readiness, CEL, and DTC. I can have 1 thing be "not ready" but that's it.like Acadia said you can't disable the sensors. even the (potential) CEL isn't really disabled, it's just hidden from the dash, a scan will still bring it up.
with that said you can still pass smog, assuming that RI doesn't use a sniffer. if they're just scanning the OBD2 for readiness, CEL codes, etc then you really just need a proper spacer to prevent the CEL, then clear any codes and drive the car around until the AP3 shows the emissions monitors are ready
(of course this is all for education purposes and shouldn't actually be attempted )
