Hi,
Is there a specif drive cycle for Gen-1 Cayenne (2008 Cayenne GTS).
Smog says "Not ready"
I have the Durametric software too - is there a drive cycle reset option using Durametric?
Thanks

 

Just went through this with another vehicle, ford truck, last week ...its fine

Changed registration to a non smog zip code ...problem solved

 

2006 Cayenne TT here: I typically have 1 monitor that wont clear (O2 sensor, I think), but Texas allows one to not be ready and still pass so I'm good. My other monitors reset quickly after a couple short drives (10-15mins each) -- I seem to recall doing at least 2 cold starts in the mix to get it ready. Otherwise I do not have to follow any of the drive cycle "hokey pokey" that you'll otherwise read (the stuff like idle X minutes, then drive Y speed for 5 mins, then Z speed for 5 mins, then idle again). My Cayenne doesn't seem to care.

 

Thanks
I never had to do it either, but for it is in "Nor ready State".

 

I am interested to know if anyone with a Cayenne has performed a Drive cycle to activate readiness status.
Thanks

 

Gotta love it right! Hill County=no smog, no care no matter how many lights are on. Only a safety inspection.

50 miles usually gets all of them for me except sometimes the SAI. Most scanners will tell you which readyness monitors are good to go or not.

 

I don't even have a safety inspection in Western SC and no stickers on the windshield, just vehicle registration.

 

I have been looking at the readiness status lately after some driving, say 15 minutes at least, and VCDS in generic OBD mode shows everything passed except for the Oxygen sensor monitoring - Failed or incomplete. I just drove it normally with some gear changes up to 5k revs and that's it.
I have a code for the SAI insufficient flow and maybe that is stopping the O2 sensors readiness to be completed.

 

Damn you!

But the traffic laws and punishments there I understand are pretty crazy.

 

...unless one of your best friends is a County Sheriff

They're actually not that bad, as I've had to pay a couple, but 4 or so have been made to magically disappear.

 

Emissions Test Drive Cycle:
1) Cold Start idle, for 3.5 min(test readiness for fuel system, 02 sensor heating, SAI, Evap)
2) Drive off, speeds not exceeding 55mph or 3000rpm(test readiness for catalyst monitor, fuel trims, misfire, purge, EGR, cat efficiency, etc.)
3) Idle for 30 sec shut off(final confirmation of I/M readiness)

RE-START

Conditions:
~ Fuel must be between 1/4 to 3/4 tank
~ No CELs current, or pending
~ No vacuum or boost leaks

One 15min drive cycle should reset ALL 8-9 I/M monitors... if sensors are working correctly

 

Oklahoma gave those up years ago. Now any jalopy can be on the roads.

 

Based on your input am I correct saying my O2 sensors being bad is the reason why the O2 sensor monitoring always fails? The car idles rough, long term fuel trims are high at 14% but no codes present.

 

WI has no safety inspections, and no emissions except for southeastern part of the state (Milwaukee metro). Emissions testing is 'interesting'. They just plug into the OBD 2 and read the codes. For cars that don't have it (pre-96), they can't test that way...
So they don't test those cars. At all.

However, on the safety aspect, the cops are reasonably vigilant. If they pull you over (or just see you driving down the road) with a flagrant safety violation, they can and will pull you over. If it's bad enough, they won't let you drive off. It doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen.

 

As it should be. I don't need some guys wheel to fall off and hit me from the gridding wheel bearing noise I heard when he made the turn at the intersection. I can't even stand a squeak or rattle - how some people drive around with their cars making the noises they do is impressive, and not in a good way.
