Fifty150 Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 I installed a new battery around Christmas Eve. With a battery disconnect, stored data is lost, and the car's computer has to relearn everything. It's now February. I've been monitoring. And today, finally, the car's computer is satisfied with all of the sensor readings. According to the car's computer, I have only had 8 warm-ups, and 87 miles since that event. I was confident that the car was fine, the emissions system did not have any failures, and that it would eventually clear with enough driving. I can't even imagine how stressed somebody would be, if they had to pass a smog test. They could be out every day, with some sort of code reader, and trying to replicate all of those different driving conditions that are supposedly necessary to complete the Ford drive cycle.

Fifty150 Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 For the next person who is having an issue with their van being "emissions ready", here are some Parameter IDs that you can use with FORScan. I hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
