OBD II Readiness So at this point I'm in the middle of my HPTuners tuning for a just headers car. I've mostly finished the LTFTs, but I need to be inspected soon, so I turned the MAF back on and all the LTFTs went lean as expected. I'm not throwing a code, but the Evaporative System and Oxygen Sensor Heater tests are still incomplete after about 85 miles of driving. All the other ones are complete. Is that enough tests complete for the computer to be "ready?" If it isn't, how do I get those tests to complete?
For that matter, even if it is enough why don't those tests complete?

Another thing to keep in mind (though this is probably state by state)
2000 and older OBDII vehicles are less stringent (at least in IL they are)
in IL you can have 2 not readies and pass... (for 2000 and earlier), 01+ only 1

For those codes, set them to "SES Enabled", "3 - No Error Reported". They should go ready immediately.
Instead of "those codes", you can make it read "any code that you are currently setting".
Yes, if you effectively disable all the DTCs that correspond to a specific readiness test, it automatically completes. IIRC You can pretty much set every DTC to 3 except the MAF ones.
