Re: Won't pass smog - no computer reading Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Won't pass smog - no computer reading, Pete C., Thu, 26 Feb 2009 12:04:53 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I suspect the terminology is a little bit off.
What I think is happening is that the cars computer is not "ready", not that the smog stations computer cannot hook and communicate with your cars computer.
Readiness is something that we all have to deal with today. It means that the cars fuel computer has gone through its own self check of many different smog/emission related items while normal driving and has put a check mark in its memory. That's what the smog station is checking for that all "check marks" are there and OK.
Sometimes it can take awhile to accomplish readiness and it might be some emission related problem lingering in the background that stops the fuel computer from declaring itself ready.
To be sure, you would have to find a shop that knows what they are doing and is familiar with readiness check or continue to drive the car and hope that it will get itself ready.
