Going to attempt to pass emissions today. Look at this fucking clown show that I need to do to get the system monitors ready ?

I would just normally go through the exemption process but when I changed insurance policies I didn’t do a limited use policy on the Hellcat because it was more expensive. Plus who knows what the EPA is going to do here in the near future.

Fairly common list for most cars, minus the ethanol fuel stuff.

Is it? Had no clue, thought it was just these cars!
Sadly, yes. Here's one of them for a BMW:

Begin by: (Make sure you have between 1/4 and 3/4 fuel in the gas tank. The EVAP test will not run while your BMW has a full tank of gas or the gas tank is near empty. Ensure there are no pending or active trouble codes and that the check engine light is not on. Start the drive cycle from a cold start; preferably on a cold morning.

A. Start engine and idle for approximately 2 minutes and 10 seconds. This tests the Secondary Air Injection, O2 Heater, EVAP/Purge No Flow, and Misfire systems. If your BMW achieves closed loop, the fuel trim will also be tested as well.

B. Begin driving. Accelerate to 55 MPH and maintain steady speed for 3 minutes and 15 seconds. During this drive segment the ECU is checking closed-loop operation and oxygen sensor response time.

C Release the accelerator pedal and coast down to 20 MPH without shifting or touching the brake or clutch (if equipped). Continue to STEP D once your vehicle speed reaches 20 MPH.

D. Accelerate to 40-60 MPH and maintain steady speed for 15 minutes. The catalyst monitor is being run now.

E. Decelerate to a complete stop and idle while the transmission is in PARK or neutral for 5 minutes. The ECU is testing the system for EVAP leaks.

F. End of Drive Cycle

If readiness status of all monitors do not switch to “ready,” ensure preconditions are met, and complete a new drive cycle after the engine has cooled overnight.

Also got this in the mail yesterday which I thought was interesting. Government crackdown on Stellantis for the Hellcat?!?!
No way I’m sending in the car for obvious reasons, plus they’ll have the car for 1-3 weeks?!?!?

Is this some sort of cheat code, or just because your ecu was flashed recently?

I ran out of room, I forgot to add do 15 minutes of light cardio and then 1 set for 200 of one-arm pushups…..never going to pass. I can do the push-ups, the 15 minutes of cardio is going to kill me.
Don't forget to stick a broom up your ass and sweep their floors while you're doing everything else.

Some cars need two drive cycles to complete the readiness of all the monitors. So if they don't show ready after the first one, do it again.





Also, that letter is interesting. I wonder if it will go beyond that. Something like if the car isn't tested, the EPA notifies Illinois and will not allow you to get an updated license plate sticker. EPA being a real cunt lately.

My coworker got that letter with his Audi RS5, he threw it away and never had an issue renewing after that.

That's the way this country is rolling under the current a$$clowns in office. You would have to be a complete idiot to participate in that letting them have your car for all that time plus you have to drive it to them in Columbus Indiana which is what 250 miles away..F'them.
