Default When will thse codes clear?

Hey Guys,

I have a 98 T/A. I had the Eng. Sensor fuse issue. Unfortunately it wasnt an o2 sensor wire melted from my headers. Mine was pinched above the bell housing.(M6) Anyway its fixed. The car needed a front o2 so I put in the Bosch 13111. Code cleared. I still have 4 INC codes left and a P0160 (o2 sim
is probably dead. My ? is will these 4 INC codes clear with the P0160.
The INC's are Evap catalyst o2... the dealer said that the INC stuff is on probably because the PCM has to go thru the relearn and after 140 mi.
most will clear. He said not to clear these with my Actron just let the car clear them. I have 160 mi. and stll has 4 INC. Is there anyone else out there that has had to do this and how long did it take? Thanks Guys

Just clear the codes mate. If there is still a problem they will pop right back up again.

Will the bad o2 sim contribute to these 4 INC's. If so what kinda code would it give me.
I just want to make sure the sim isnt creating these 4 INC. If I clear the P0160 (Rear o2)
the light goes off for a while but comes back on after driving approx 20 miles. P0160.
I am only a month old with this car so I am not very knowledgable on this stuff yet. Thank god for this website. The people on here a huge help. Thanks

I just had the rear O2's tuned out and then you do not need sims.

Yeah I know. Unfortunatley the closest shop is a couple hours away and Ive already been there once and he car had a bunch of codes because of a short in the o2 circuit. Short story is. Needed to fix short first, the car is now uninspected (No sticker on window = easy prey for cops. I just need to know if anyone has had to drive there car for how long, how many warm up cycles, are there any short cuts. I can have 2 Monitors Incomplete, but now I have 4. I can clear the o2 sim code P0160 for approx 10 miles. but I need to drive the car to get rid of the rest. Nobody else has needed to do this?!

Yeah, I'm try to pass emmisions. I've only had the car a month. I'll give ya the quick run down. It has LT's no cats. The only code I have is P0160. (Bad 02 sim) can clear it for about 10 miles then comes back. The INC's are 4. I'll go out at lunch and get them.FYI,
I had a bad Bank1 o2 bad and replaced it with the Bosch 13111 last Thursday. The guy who is inspecting it for me said to drive the car until the INC's go away. I have about 200miles put on since then. The scan tool I have is the $60 Actron just basic to get the codes read. I really appreciate the help 01LS1lover this is really pissing me off

For the HO2S Circuit Insufficient Activity Bank 2 Sensor 2 (Rear Passenger Side 02 sim P0160) That is obviously bad you need to replace the sim. As for the INC monitors a wuick little trick.. When the car is completley cold and you go to drive it in the morning turn the key to the on position WITHOUT starting the car. Let it sit for a few minutes. Then when you drive aournd town make sure you come to a few complete stops and dont gas it around. Drive for about 55-60 for about 3 mins stright and try to slow down to about 20-30sh without using your brakes.. That should clear the monitors but for you to pass emissions you need to replace the sim..
