The car has passed emissions in the past and I’m trying to get it to do it again, but so far no luck. I don’t know if that has anything however to do with the OBD2 not being ready or the I/M Monitors. I did clear the codes before I went into the emissions station with the scanner. That issue is just pretty much an issue of clearing the code when it comes up. The only code that I get when I scan the codes is P0422 Main Catalyst below threshold, but that is not something that I really worry about because I know what is causing that and how to pretty much fix that issue. I don’t know if there is a time/mileage aspect involved with it or not or if there is a problem with the system that needs to be addressed. I’m stumped because I can find no information about it on the Internet. I am trying to figure out as why they are not arming and what I can do about them so that I can get the car to pass emissions and re-register my car. At no time during the drive did any of those monitors say that they were ready during the drive. I had my Actron scanner hooked up and kept checking the status of the Evap monitor, Main Catalyst, and System Engine Monitor but all that I got was ‘inc’. I took it out and drove it around some more putting over 60 miles on the car. The guys asked if I has changed the battery or tune lately and I have not. I have no fault codes or pending fault codes and the truck drives great (getting 16-17 mpg). I failed the test because it said that the OBD2 system was not ready. Went to get the truck inspected last night and there are 3 monitors that came up not ready: 1) Catalyst. I then pulled into the emissions station and had them test the car. Once that was completed I took it out on the freeway and drove it for a little bit after getting gas in the car. They replaced that bulb and that seemed to resolve that issue. Determine whether all non-continuous monitors have completed. I took the car into a repair shop this morning and had them repair that issue. Access the ON-Board System Readiness (OBDII monitor status) function on the scan tool. The primary culprit in that was a malfunctions MIL Lamp. I am wondering because yesterday I took my car into the emissions station for the emissions test and it failed. I was wondering if anyone might happen to know as to how long it takes for the I/M Monitors on a 2000 Kia Sportage to activate.
