Ok, first I have no codes set, no CEL , No issues car is running fine, I have not reset the ECU/ECM unplugged battery etc.

I have drove a 250m each way R/T highway and about 100 miles since that and I was looking at diagnostics with dash command for giggles and found 3 system RED not ready, Cat monitoring, Evap, and O2 sensor.

Is dash command not reading it right ? I swear it did before or is something else going on ? I'm not due for inspection till January but am pretty sure it will fail as I beleive 2013 can only have 1 not ready.

If still like this in Jan I'll take to dealer for inspection I guess since I'm under warranty.

 

Ok checked wifes mini. all 8 green no red, my mini still 3 red. I had my airbag light reset by local MINI guy is it possible he loaded a tune for catless downpipe by mistake ? I mean if my cat and o2 where not ready I don't see why no CEL light.

 

He might have reset the entire computer when he reset the airbag...
A mix of long and short trips will be needed to finish a "drive cycle" to have all of the imessions readyness tests show green....
And having one "not ready" is usually an automatic fail for an inspection in most states.

 

PS.... Not ready does not mean the system is NOT WORKING....
Just the computer has not seen the required events (aka a drive cycle) to determine they are working or not working....if you do not see any "pending codes" then it is likely they will pass..

 

Air bag was reset 1000 miles ago. With a 500 mile trip in there.

 

One line longer trip and a few short ones....mix of cold and warm starts are usually needed...
If it has been a few tanks of fuel...you must have that...so unusual....
Wonder if the JB+ is interfering with the emissions readyness tests....

 

Dunno about jb+ , I was running bms can tool which was set to auto delete tuner codes so I turned that function off , I did find 1 soft code 1378F , no idea so deleted all with can tool and see if anything changes , and local mech who reset air bag light said he did not code anything , just deleted code for airbag ( had seat unhooked for sub install)

 

Ok it was my CAN tool causing problem, good to know I have to remove it a couple of days before emissions test due.

 

also, to note for future reference....BMW programs the DME's to reset readiness if the car sits for a long period of time, I think it has to be at least a few weeks. All monitors will have to reinitiate. my friend learned that the hard way after failing annual inspection
