I had new front and rear catalyst put on/gaskets/O2 sensors both bank 1 and 2. When going through the drive cycle all monitors set except for the catalyst one. I Have a few questions;

I need help and a quick way to solve this with the drive trace or cycle needed to be done exactly for the catalyst to set ready.

(I am not near freeway within fifteen minutes, so I would need something I could do, so that I could drive to the freeway then perform that drive cycle to complete it.

I am looking for the specific Drive Cycle to set this to the ready status.


Thanks.

Hey clevenhagenjs,

The drive cycles or monitors can very due to driving times and habits, it is difficult to tell exactly when these monitors will be satisfied and set. Head to the freeway and drive and car for about fifteen miles is your best bet.

Best, Ken
