Ok it's emissions time and i need to take my car to DEQ. My tuner tried once to delete the codes using HP tuners but obviously it wasn't right. Could anyone give me a step by step way of Tuning out the AIR, EGR, and Rear o2 sensors using HP Tuners so i can pass emissions?! THanx

go to the Engine DTCs
Find the ones related to the sensors you don't have (EGR, AIR, and Bank 1 and 2 sensor 2)
Set it to "Does not report error"
and that's it...
did this on my car a month ago and passed emissions flying colors

I found that if you disable all the codes related to AIR and EGR (no error), then the PCM tells HPTuners that their respective tests have passed, which I think would be very beneficial during smog checking.

I disabled all the codes as stated above. Got 3-4 cold starts, 3-4 hot starts and 30 miles driving and all but 1 readiness test passed.
You may want to post up in the local section to see if anyone near you has a scanner that can read readiness tests... also if it's someone w/HP Tuners for your car, if you can get them to read the PCM and verify the changes (or send me the .bin and I can go over it)

yup... so long as the scanner says the readiness tests are completed... that's what the emissions peops will see....
I've heard a few times in the past that you could set the codes to off and it'd still pass... but my first time doing it I just set them to does not set code and it worked so never tried w/setting the codes to off

When the OBD3 PCM's are introduced, I was told we would no longer be able to turn off codes. The EPA wants the software to report bypassed codes to report as failures.
Good reason to keep older cars.
