How to get my "Catalytic Converter Efficency" Ready?

Cell

If your test in canada is anything like ours. They will want your Catalytic efficiency at least turned on. I may be wrong about it being ready, it may not even need to be ready, just turned on. If the cat efficiency is turned on and your EVAP and O2S are good with no codes you may pass.

My OBDII scanner said I would pass with the Cat efficiency turned off but it would get rejected at the actual test site.

I wish I remember what I did 2 years ago when I passed. All I remember was I had EVAP and O2S ready and passed. I just don't remember if the cat efficiency had to be ready or not. I am thinking that without the cats it's probably impossible to get it ready.

Base on your scanner, it looks like your cat efficiency is turned off. How many times do you get to test before they force you to see a mechanic?

If I fail, they will tell me what failed. I need to fix that and get retested. If I fail again, I need to spend up to approx $400 in repairs trying to fix the problem. If I fail again I will get a conditional pass for a year, then I go through it all over again.

So you didn't throw a code when you have the CAT Efficiency turned on? I wonder if I should contact Vince and get a map with it turned on.

I'll keep you posted.

You won't throw a code right away. You would have to drive for 20-30 minutes before the code comes up. You don't need to contact Vince to make the changes. You can just open your tune file with Rom editor and turn them on unless your file is locked. Then you will have to call vince.
