When smog time comes around I would drive the car for 25 miles and pass with flying colors. This time around I had to bring it to a Star Smog station and the OBD 2 test fail. The tech told me to drive another 30 miles and bring it back. I did and fail again. He told me the OBD 2 test is not reading and to drive another 30-40 miles. Question is...has the smog laws change or is something wrong with the computer.<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2013-10-11, 07:46 PM: Message edited by: cobra4v ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>CAStang</b> <br /><small>Member # 9568</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2013,9,11,21,3,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Nothing changed, my 01 Cobra did the same thing. You need about 50 or 60 drive miles and multiple heat cycles. I finally just went to Harbor a Freight and bought my own OBD2 scanner so I can check readiness myself before taking it in for smog. For some reason the upstream O2 sensors take longer to clear than everything else.<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2013-10-11, 09:05 PM: Message edited by: CAStang ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>cobra4v</b> <br /><small>Member # 4889</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2013,9,11,21,11,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Ok...I never had this problem in the pass.
