[QUOTE="thomas91169, post: 13417329, member: 40530"] The readiness monitors take certain amounts of mileage/driving conditions to run. A ref station has the authority to run it anyways, a standard smog shop does not have this authority. I dont see where this is the fault of the "Morons" at the smog shop when its out of their control on what they can and cannot do legally. We had to drive my girls Tiburon 1300mi AFTER purchasing it to get her catalytic converter readiness monitor to run. And even then, I had to download a pdf from Hyundai regarding what driving conditions must be met in order for the ECU to actually run the catalytic readiness monitor. I had to go from 0 to 55mph in 15 seconds, then hold 55mph with a deviation no greater than 2mph for 10 minutes, then decelerate from 55 to 0mph in 15 seconds, and then stop while in drive for another minute in order for it to run the monitor. And FWIW, as of last january, you cannot have ANY readiness monitors open. Before that, you were allowed to have up to two readiness monitors open, meaning you would be able to pretty much do a ecu reset/batt pull and pass the obdII check after a 5-15min drive and be good to go. Now, the dealerships are having issues because after they do their trade-in maintenance, they gotta drive these cars 500-1000 mi to get the readiness monitors to clear before they can get the car to pass so they can put it on the lot. Or they are doing it like they did ours, put it on the lot, then say "come back in week or two and well run the smog test" and I come back every two weeks for almost 2 months and still no dice.
