I would think they all must read ready. Last year i had EVAP and AIR not ready and could not test. It took driving at all different speeds to get ready status. I believe GM has like a 45 minute driving procedure to make sure all systems are ready.

no, you can not force them to be ready....
IT NEEDS TO BE READY TO PASS.......
if you go with it not ready YOU WILL FAIL!
Just put more miles on it and it will go ready.... Don't mess with the tune or reset the computer or you will have to start over.

i pass everytime, i made my own "emissions" tune that has everything set so the computer reads good, i upload it, drive over and pass. i've made the emissions guy eyes water cause i was running rich at the time and he gave me my pass sheet.

You can tune the car not to pop a code. If you remove your rear 0/2's and don't tune for it, it will set to "Fail", which will fail you.
YOU CAN NOT tune the car to always be ready.....
once you reset the computer/unplug batt, it will need to run a full cycle before it all goes ready. Sometimes this goes fast, other times it takes a while.
I believe if all the systems aren't ready, they will not fail you, they just won't let you take the test?
