Tephra V7 OBD Inspection.
Now that I believe to have figured out my voltage issue. I need to pass emissions. My car wont pass emissions. I have removed a lot out of the engine bay. So I have questions on how to exactly pass emissions with this feature. I'd like to go do it as soon as possible.
I have some CEL's tho. Does that matter? IF so do I need to delete those CEL's first and then do the force emissions pass?
Here's every window open on my rom for the OBD Inspection. Stock Tephra V7.
Some of these things dont' make sense to me exactly. The top 3 do, I change those Hex codes to the Forced Pass codes. But the two bottom boxes I don't get. Do those two bottom boxes matter? Cause what it looks like is just a monitor telling me what things I have avail., and what things are passing and not passing. Am I correct?
I hope you can help me with this. This is the first time I've even looked at this Emissions pass thing.

I am also interested in this. To my knowledge the bottom boxes tell the scan tool what is available and what will pass. Obviously if its available it should pass and Im sure if it isnt it should fail. I see that you have some available and then in the other box you have it set to fail which Im sure should be set to pass. Im sure someone else will guide you a bit better as I am trying to figure this out as well. I have everything set to available and pass but Ive read somewhere that the following arent available: A/C system refrigerant, secondary air system, and heated catalyst. Is this true? My car is registered in CA and at the end of this year my car will need to get tested . At least I have a good while to mess with things.

i suggest not just setting it to all ones, as if you have a state where they pay any attention the computer will see that you are passing on systems that may not have ever been on the car.
you need to set it to reflect what a stock car would show.

Ok now your all now making 0 sense. So I delete codes and fail even with the force emissions pass. But if I don't I fail anyway even with the force emissions pass? kinda defeats the meaning of force pass. First off I don't know how to delete the 9 codes I have. I know how to clear them but they pop right back up as soon as I start the car.
Also I didn't set all to 1. Itset itself. When I set the force emissions it set all the ready and pass to 1.

BUT, I already did. I burnt the rom to the ECU and CEL is still there. And ECUFlash set everything to 1. The first 3 boxes I changed the 4 Hex codes to the pass codes and then it set all the other two boxes to 1's. The Monitor avail and the monitor pass all to 1.
No, they don't do a visual on obd2 cars. They connect their computer up, hold the engine at like 4000rpm for a few minutes. And the ECU tells the computer pass, fail or test not ready (which is where the force pass should come into play) BUT.... The problem is, while they are in the car, and they see the CEL.... will they say "well I gotta fail you because your car has a CEL. Even tho it passes with flying colors". I get a free test if I fail, but its on the other side of town. My car is not registered or insured. I'm in no position to get anymore tickets. So I am kinda wanting this to pass first time around. Throwing no codes and passing.

most states cel on is instant fail.
depending on the codes, you could go further and shut them off in the periphery bits just to pass.
i have a screenshot of what the stock settings should be, i just cant get to it from work.

So emissions places are closed now. I'll try again tomorrow after I get some fresh coolant in the system and a new fan that actually works.
