It would help if you listed your mods.:dontknow:

 

[Prof]

It would also help if you told us the inspection procedure...is there a visual inspection? Is there a sniff tube inserted into your exhaust pipe?

Or is it just an OBD2 plug in inspection...

We can help but you need to give us something to go on...

 

[Ironhead]

have you disconnected the battery lately

 

[scoobert]

easy. you disconnected the battery. you need to drive 80 miles and do it again.
its an obd report failure.
do the 80 mile drive and do it again you will pass.

reset the puter when i installed the TB. that was at the first of the month. been through 3 tanks of gas, so just under 1,000 miles

visual inspection for lights & such. no sniffer because of OBD II

he said it would pass with one "not ready" but not 2

looks like rear 02 and evap "no ready"...not sure though, we dont have "inspections" in CA, we have reamed smog checks.

but there are no fault codes.

won't it throw a code if even the heaters are out???

For the truck to set the ready status, it has to go through what are called "good trips". They are defined by the PCM being able to complete its system checks on various components. Different conditions have to be met for the system to be able to complete each of the verifications. You might try a couple of things and see if it works. These will set the conditions for some of the tests.

1. Start the vehicle and let it sit and idle for 2 minutes. Cycle the key off and then on.
2. Start the vehcle and with the vehicle in park/neutral, hold the thottle so that the engine speed maintains 2000 rpms for 30 seconds. Return to idle and then cycle the key off and then on.

If that doesn't work, you can have it inspected at the dealership (should be same price). They are pretty good at forcing it to perform the self checks and getting the system to say that it's ready.

The report isn't saying there are fault codes. It is saying that the system has not performed enough "good trips" to be able to report the status back to the inquiring computer (the state inspection computer).

During a Texas state inpection, the inpection computer is connected to the OBDII port on the truck. It asks the truck to tell it various things: number of misfires detected, whether or not the evaporative emissions canister is working, whether or not the 02 sensors are working and if their heater circuits are working.

Since OBDII codes can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, all vehicles must comply to certain standards when queried by an inpection computer. This is not a just a scan for fault codes. This is a query on how many times certain codes have been set, plus a bunch of additional data. The result is that the vehicle's PCM tells the state inpsection computer certain statistics about its operating conditions. Then, depending on the state legislated allowable limits for varous tests, the state inpsection computer will determine if the vehicle passes or fails the test.

The vehicles PCM has to have completed enough test cycles before it can report in to the inpection computer its results. The "not ready" status just means that the vehicle's PCM has not completed enough test cycles to be ready to report to the state inpection computer. It does not necessariliy mean that there is anything wrong or that there are any fault codes stored.

thanks for the info.

does this have to be done at temp or from cold start??

Wouldn't hurt to do it cold, warm up the truck, and then do it again when warm.

I had my canister go bad approx 2 years ago, might want to get that checked out, was BS it went out so early and cost about $300 to get it checked, and replaced.

try again tomorrow or Tuesday

thanks for the info/help ya'll:rock: :rock: :rock:
