Hello all -

I brought my car to get inspected in NJ this morning and it failed due to oxygen sensor "readiness". Here is a picture:



I reached out to Chad at CBRD to see if one of my o2 sensors are disabled on my Cobb tune and I'll have to wait until the middle of the week to find out. In the meantime, is there a "simple" way of determining if I have a bad o2 sensor, if one is disabled, or if perhaps I just didn't drive the car enough for the sensor to be in a ready state with a Cobb AP? I don't drive the car often and the inspection station is less than 5 miles away, so I guess it is possible the system didn't run all of its checks by the time I drove the car to the inspection station (I doubt this is the case though).

The car has the following mods:
1. CBRD Intercooler
2. ETS Quiet V2 CBE
3. ETS Intake
4. ETS HFC
5. CBRD BorgWarner RBX 7163 kit

Anyone? I'm still waiting to hear back from Chad but I'm tempted to consider looking at going to open source at this point and be able to force to OBD readiness via a patch.

I had the same problem after my car was tuned by Buschur. I flashed the "force readiness" stuff on the car and have been fine ever since. I think your o2 is turned off, it is not a mechanical hardware problem.

EDIT- wait- I realize you have a X. I have a IX.

Still might be relevant. My problem is I'm tuned with a CobbAP. Therefore, I believe, I'm a bit limited as to what I can do from a OBD perspective. What tuning platform do you use?

I use the open source stuff. I am a linux person and I hate the idea of using closed source hardware/software.

As an update, Chad gave me an updated tune based off the one I was using. I applied the tune on Wednesday and drove about 50 miles in city, highway, etc. I'm happy to report that I was able to pass inspection today. This is likely due to now the Oxygen Sensor being in a ready state now. What's interesting is I ran several OBD scans prior to getting inspected and the Oxygen Sensors Heater was in an incomplete state as well as the Evap System.
