Hello
I have A 2003 Kia Sorento I purchased a new battery about 7 months ago. I own an Innova scanner that is fairly easy to use and quick for checking if monitors are ready for emmisions. I drove the car about 6000 miles and the evap monitor never cleared so I reset the computer with the scanner and it has been about 3000 miles and the evap monitor still hasnt cleared. There are not any codes present nor has there been so what could be the problem and how should I explain or demand the dealer to do since the vehicle is still covered under warranty.
Thanks

Pleade ignorance first of all. They are less likely to bro you down if you have been in there working on it while it is under warranty, unless you are a certified technician. Why were you checking the monitors in the first place? Check engine light? Let them know that you have a scan tool and that the monitors wont set for the EVAp and that you cant pass an inspection (depending on where you are) unless they do. There may be an update for the PCM or something to that effect. Get it on record that there is a problem with emissions before your warranty expires
