The Engine Service Soon light was reset yesterday by dealer after repairs along with BMS DP fix.
So, I drove 250 miles today including the Drive cycle procedure:

BUT I have still have these codes:
2AIR N/A
A /C N/A
EGR N/A
MIL OFF
HCM N/A
EVAPORATE not ready

This is from OBDII port scanner.

Did I do the procedure incorrectly?

Any tips or helpful hints for following the drive cycle?
I have to get MASS EMISSIONS INSPECTION STICKER ASAP!

Thanks!

Most of those are not applicable on this motor thus the N/A. Does your scanner have an emissions ready light? If it does is it green, yellow or red? If it is green you will pass even without the above not ready. The evaporate one should be the gas tank vapour recovery system. I'm not sure why that is showing not ready. Let us know about the lights and we can go from there.

I did not do the cold start 1st step because when the dealer reset the code, the car was not completely cold.
I will run the idle for 2 minutes tomorrow morning.

So the N/A not applicable, can be ignored?

Also, there is no light. For my OBD, it say DTC no codes.
I/M : NO

What about the MIL off?

Concern?

MIL = Malfuncition indicator light. i.e. service engine soon, check engine light etc.

So OFF on that should be good. I would take it in if you get the evap to show ready. Worst case the mechanic will tell you to drive around for a bit and come back.

repeat the drive cycle.. may take 2 cycles for all monitors to clear. you shouldn't need 250 miles just a few cycles.. i would space out the cycles over a few days since you need a cold engine inbetween cycles.

EVAP takes the longest, I think it's the part of the drive cycle where you have to sit idle for a long time. But most places let you have 1 or 2 monitors not ready. In GA, we get 2 not ready. I got tired of trying to get the EVAP ready and just tested it with it not set, I passed since all other monitors were ready. MA may be different.

+1 EVAP can take a while.

Thanks for all the info.

In Mass 1 Code can be not ready as long as its not Cats.

Passed!
