I've done countless drive cycles , had the o2 sensors checked by the dealer, reflashed pcm and double checked for a stock thermostat...still cannot get cat, o2 and heated o2 to ready... where should I look next? Any help appreciated
Search brother search.
I can think of at least 3 different people , have started their own threads on just this exact thing .
Its a PITA, but you just gotta drive the car. Dont worry about drive cycle parameters, just drive. A long road trip should help.
300 miles should be way more than enough. I had same issues with my 2010 supercharged Roush, but it turned out the monitors had been turned off in the tune.
OP can you get local tuner to just look at (inside) your tune and confirm the monitors are on? That might be worth confirming.
Once my monitors were turned on, it took around 40 miles (or less) of driving to reset all mine except EVAP. But then one more short drive and a day or two sitting, and the EVAP reset itself too.
A local guy I talked to said that Fords reset monitors pretty quickly, so 300 miles is wayyyyyyy more than necessary. There are some specific drive cycle requirements that should be followed, such as: http://www.obdii.com/drivecycleford.html
According to OP the tune is stock. .......
