ESS Supercharger O2 Readiness for State Inspection
So I'm trying to get my car inspected with an ESS VT2-625 kit and the the O2 sensors are listing as not ready. I'm on stock cats so there isn't any CEL. They are not failing, just not set to ready. The O2 sensors are not throwing any codes as well so it has to be software related.
Has anyone ever run into this with the supercharger software or is there a particular file that I need to load?

Can't, it has to be done in the county the car is registered in.

This happens because ESS uses the same file for catted and catless cars. Contact them to see if they can give you the proper file for your setup.

I'm experiencing a similar issue, but I'm using Evolve software. I've asked to have all cat/O2 systems re-enabled, since they also use a canned tune for catted or catless cars. I'm approximately 200 miles after the flash and still haven't had the cat or O2 sensor flip to READY.
Once your calibration has all systems enabled, you also need to fit your driving into a couple drive cycles: http://www.europeantransmissions.com...0Procedure.pdf |

You'd think, right? I'm 230 miles and two full drive cycles in. I'm still sitting on NOT READY for the Catalyst and O2 Sensor with factory cats in place (and have always in place).

You're factory cats have always been installed all along?

Ok well then i'm confused. If you have the stock xpipe on with stock cats, why are you doing drive cycles? The evolve tune should already allow readiness. Sounds like you need to contact evolve.
The key is to have the STOCK cats/xpipe installed while running a tune that allows the O2's to go ready. Aftermarket catted xpipe's generally don't work.

Theoretically, yes, if you have an emissions compliant tune and factory cats you should be capable of passing I/M Readiness after 1-2 drive cycles. In my experience on my S2000, that happens easily in 80-110 miles. I was contributing to this thread initially to provide the drive cycle details, which I've been going through multiple times per calibration. But since you asked, I'll tell you that I'm also dealing with this because the two calibrators at Evolve I've dealt with so far are complete imbeciles. |

When you start your car, does the check engine light come on shortly before going off? If not (if it never comes on), then your entire engine warning systems have been disabled and that would explain why you don't see any codes. Please check this.

You hit the nail on the head. No Check Engine light any longer. Regardless of the readiness states, a car cannot pass emissions if the Check Engine light does not illuminate upon startup.

I just checked mine after getting another tune and my CEL shows up for a brief second while cranking the car over.
