Thank you for your video. A lot of information to look at. I have a 2011 Jeep Liberty which is a 3rd/spare car which is not driven much. I replaced the battery 4 months ago with a new one from Auto Zone. When I was going to get it smogged this week, my scan tool was showing everything was good except for the O2 sensor monitors. I looked at a ton of videos and a lot of people stated it took forever to make ready this monitor. Just have to drive it a lot of miles to make ready the monitor they said. I did numerous drive cycles and drove quite a few miles and still it shows O2 sensor not ready. After watching you video, I checked my battery voltage with a meter and it was showing 12.5 volts. I took my "jump start" portable battery, hooked it up to my car battery terminals then disconnected the terminals from the car battery so I would not lose any of the memory, then hooked up my digital battery charger and it showed my battery being at 85%. I charged it up for about an hour until it showed 100%. Disconnected the battery charger, put the terminals back on the battery, disconnected the "jump start" battery, and the new voltage at the battery showed 12.8. Just got back from a 45 minute drive on the freeway and a little stop and go traffic driving, got home and the O2 monitors are now ready! I have to think that charging up the battery did the trick. Thank you again. I hope this helps someone out there that is having issues with the O2 sensors. It is worth a try. God Bless.

I haven’t run into just the o2 sensor not setting on diesels but on gasoline vehicles this normally caused a weak battery. Just because the battery starts the vehicle doesn’t mean it’s good. If the battery is over 2 years old or has ever needed a jump start I would test. I good battery will rest a 12.7 or 12.6 volts with the engine off after a 5 minute load from the headlights. You want to make sure there is not a ghost charge. Keep me posted and good luck 🍀

Hi Tom, Bmwwwwww and smog, oh boy, okay just be ready for a little work, first fix the discharge issue, I recommend disconnecting the battery for a few house to 48 hours. You may need to load the the battery and check the charging system. I would test all of this before disconnecting because if the battery and charging system are good then you don’t have to start from scratch on the drive as I think you are stating all the other monitors are ready other than o2 sensor. But please under a bad or even semi weak battery is going to cause all sorts of issues so if they battery and charging system are good then you want to start from scratch, disconnect the battery which helps reset all module and can fix some communications issue. Here is the drive cycle for your Bmw kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9Fmh85kmJalk6s.html Good luck and let me know what you find.

@RANDOMFIX 3 ай бұрын

O2 sensor monitors are just one monitor and it doesn’t let you know if it’s downstream or upstream. The o2 heater is monitor, and that component is on the upstream. So you have assume both oxygen sensors as one monitor. Hope that helps. Thank you for the feedback

What worked for me is the following. At midnight when the freeway is empty I drove 8 minutes steady at 55 mph, right before exiting the freeway I accelerated to 65 mph and let the foot off gas, letting the car coast to 0 mph that was for the EVAP. I then drove around 10 minutes at 35-37 mph steady, after got on the freeway and did my o2 drive cycle which was going 65mph and letting the foot of the gas to 55mph and accelerating back up to 65mph, repeating that 5 times consecutively got my o2 sensors to set, I suppose doing something similar may help. Lastly I drove around neighborhood streets around 20-30 mph and staying idle for 1 minute at the stop signs, around 5 times. Once I got back home, I plugged in my OBD2 scanner and everything was ready and set.

I have a 2008 Nissan Xterra. I have used a scan tool to identify any codes and also clear them. I have been plauged with a small evap leak for a number of years. Recently, I cleared the code and brought my vehicle in for the yearly inspection. Apparently, I did not allow sufficient drive time to reset the monitors. I do notice that I have 3 monitors that show N/A..egr, hcat and air. I presume that these are not on my vehicle thus the n/a. I do not have a SEL light on, but the usual pending evap code P0456...small evap leak. Am I good to go with all of the other monitors saying OK?

@RANDOMFIX 9 ай бұрын

If all the monitors are complete except the n/a not applicable than you should be good however I have seen smog techs pre scan the vehicle with a basic obd2 reader and will tell you are not ready and to keep driving as they want to take a chance as the recorded pass with pending code will go with their record or they might be suspect of a bigger problem

@lorettacaputo6997 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for the quick response. I came across info about the N/A status on the internet, but I was surprised when the tech at the garage told me that I needed to drive a few more hundred miles to go thru the complete drive cycle. I was advised by the main mechanic to keep the gas tank stuffed with fuel during the drive cycle so not to kick on the SEL light and then the auto could be rescanned. I was concerned about the n/a status and I doubted if it would ever cycle to ok. Apparently the shop has a few customers who have the same problem and this is how they deal with it at inspection time here in NYS.@@RANDOMFIX

Start your Tundra with the air conditioner on plus rear defrost plus headlight and just let warm up for 5 to 20 minutes. The colder the temperature the longer you may want to warm up. The drive around 35 to 45 mph around down. Put a big electrical load on the vehicle during warm up. Your tundra is 10 years old now. Has the o2 sensor been replaced?

I don’t see any reason why the monitors are not completing. I will try to start the vehicle when it’s cold have the AC and rear defrost on and any other electrical loads all on and let the vehicle warm up and afterwards take it for a drive around town 5 to 10 minutes. I don’t know what else you need to do as this very strange unless you didn’t use the oem o2 sensors. Keep me posted

Looks like i got to replace my battery ill be darn. Explains why o2 senser cycle was taking forever.

I won’t replace a battery without load testing it. Here is an old video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNaVktKAusDXhac.htmlsi=GFdglt6Qhv0O2CfD And these are pretty cheap and great to have. If your battery is over 5 years old or close to it and is lead acid battery just replace as there is no need to load test.

@@RANDOMFIX i had one of those lcd load testers and had a recheck at AutoZone they indeed said it needed replaced. Thanks for your help i passed the emissions test today after replacing battery oxygen and cat monitors cleared within 10 minutes of driving.

Tried your Drive Cycle instructions for Jeep Wrangler. It did not work. O2 sensor monitor does not complete.

Don’t be surprised, I’ve seem people replace transmission when the battery was the cause. There is not harm in having a great battery.

@RANDOMFIX Жыл бұрын

I know batteries can be expensive so you don’t need to replace every battery, just load test it, check the charging system. Here is great 20 solutions kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNaVktKAusDXhac.html and i would still disconnect the battery for 1 hour even if it shows good to reset any modules that might not communicating correctly. Keep me in the loop.
