So let me get this straight. If I use Evoscan to clear my codes I can then install this patch and go directly to the emmission tester without driving for 75 miles for the ecu to reset and throw my p0121 and p0420?

Also, does anyone know why i cant save the file using notepad?

Install the patch, then clear the codes, but yes: once this patch is applied, as long as the codes are cleared and don't return, you should be able to hit the testing facility right away.

Actually, that's exactly what I did.

When you go to save it, make sure you click "save as" and check the file name and have the correct file extension (XML). Some people have notepad plus or something like that and tries to save the file under a different name, instead of replacing the origional. You have to make sure you replace the origional (name and extension being correct).

Also, make sure it isn't Vista preventing you from writing to files in the Program Files directory.

Make sure the ECU Flash is closed when changing the xml.file. Or it will be utilizing this very xml you are changing, and then you opened it in another program, the original program locks it out so you can't overwrite the file and crash the program that is actually utilizing it. I learned that the other day, well, 10 years ago, but never let it get me till the other day...lol

Quick question on topic.

I need to know where i can get these OBDII instructions for ROM 96420011...
Can any one give me a heas up?

Thanks in advance.

This patch does nothing to affect CEL codes, O2 sensors, etc.

All it does it return "Available/Pass" when an OBD scan is done of the car. That's it.

There are plenty of other threads discussing how to disable certain CELs or simulate O2's.

I applied tephra's 5.10 rom to a local today for rom 94170015. Non-Continuous Monitor Completion Patch table @3688E is showing up as DAFF not DA2A. I changed it to EAFF, didn't seem to have an ill effect. Anyone else see this?
