[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 15790725, member: 184279"] My first question is: have you followed the 'drive cycle' sheet carefully? Here's your homework: pick one monitor, and then review the EXACT drive cycle requirements for the one monitor, and do the drive cycling EXACTLY as specified. Then check readiness status again. Focus on that one monitor and see if you can get it to reset. If you can conquer one, you should be able to go down the list. If no joy, you might need to find someone in your area. I used "Dyno Pete" in New Hampshire to help me out. He's a true whiz with these issues. In fact, he said he saw the problem just getting started about 10 years ago, so he actually specializes in this emissions bullshit. There are some tuners on the forum here who seem to know this stuff pretty well too. But IMHO you'd be best served by someone who could actually get their computer plugged into the car. You don't need a full tune, obviously, but there may be other reason the monitors not resetting. Bottom line here is: keep the faith. I found this problem incredibly frustrating when I went through it last Summer. But as soon as I found Pete, the problems went away in a few minutes. Yours will too, once the right solution (or tuner) is found. PS - where'd you buy the scanner? Harbor Freight? Does it seem to work OK? Is it easy to use? And was it actually $55? [/QUOTE]
