I just purchased this van and to transfer the title I need to pass the emissions test. I took it in and i was told that it reads "not ready", and it cannot be tested until my vehicle emissions systems becomes "ready".
I would need to find out how long it will take to drive it, and at what speed for the system to reset. Can you give me those instructions, and how will i know when it is ready?

Hi,

The best thing to do is drive it under normal conditions. Some will reset in 20 miles and others take over 100 miles. I can tell you that a drive cycle requires specific things to happen. See the attached pics below.

I wish I could give you the specifics other than what I attached, but from experience, I've found they are all different.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

joe
