Default OBD II systems

My catalyst, egr, and o2 sensor heater systems are not ready after 120 miles. What the hell is the problem that these systems are not ready?

anyone have information about these systems?

It's not only miles but run cycles. You need it warm up & drive at least 6 or 7 times to get thru all the diagnostics.

You can tune them to pass(be ready) right away.

there is a specific gm drive cycle you must do in order to get everything checked(you can find it doing an internet search), also if your running a colder thermostat take it out and put a stocker back in(will also cause it not to re-learn). i tried forcing it with my efilive like slowhawk suggested but after you shut off the car and re-start it, it goes away....

Then it's done wrong.

I garrenty my cars to pass now.You can disconnect/reconnect the battery right before the test and all the systems will be ready.No matter what you do they will be ready.
