California Smog - I need all systems marked ready (or non-applicable) in OBD.
Everything is fine - except for evap.

Does anyone know what I need to do to trigger the test so I can get smogged?

I rarely drive the car on the street. And I never run close to a full tank - and am rarely over 1/4 tank. Smog dude said to fill the tank and start the car cold. That alone didn't do the trick.

Thanks!

Mods list? Have you had this problem before? Are you throwing any codes? More info would be appreciated.

 

Have you cleared any cel's latetly? I now I cleared mine before heading to get smogged, and the tech said it was "not ready" and I needed to drive it for a bit (about 30-40 miles) to get it to read.

 

Sorry about the lack of details.
No engine mods.
I was running a different cat - but am back to OEM now. The cat was causing codes to be thrown -- but just 0420.
No other codes being thrown.
I had cleared recently -- which resulted in many 'Not Ready' systems. I drove a little under 100 miles. Now all systems are ready except for evap.

My understanding is that there is a specific condition that causes the Evap System Test to occur.

Thanks again for the help.

And ..
I think I know what to do now.
FSM 13A-23 says to use patterns: 5, 6, and 23

My driving habits make pattern 5 difficult to achieve.
I get it.
