Car is an 08' 335 with V5 tune and intake. I live in Texas and just tried to get the car inspected. The vehicle inspection report had the following results:

Catalyst: Not Ready
Evap: Not Ready
02 Sens: Not Ready
02 Sens Htr: Not Ready

So do I need to remove the Vishnu to get the car inspected and is it why these systems are off? Any help you guys have is appreciated. I did a search but didn't find a solution.

Do you have kittyless down pipes in your car?

Go to a different inspection. My guy gets in, honks the horn, flashes the lights, blinkers, puts his seatbeat on and goes around the block. Comes back and good to go.

That still won't explain why he's throwing a Cat readiness code and evap code... Neither a tune or intake should affect this...

Yes they would. At least thats what Shiv had said about codes. What happens is that when the dme checks the o2 sensors it resets the cycle so the cycle restarts and checks everything again and right before the o2 it restarts.

Only mods are the tune and the Injen intake - nothing else. I would go to a different shop but you end up having to pay $40 before you know if they will pass a car or not.
That's how it is in Texas - you pay regardless and they give you 30 days to fix the problem and bring it back to get the sticker.

+1 and he could even put it in valet mode and the v5 will become a bypass...wonder what shop I am local and would like to see what's going on maybe shops trying to get over on him

Hi guys,
The Procede won't keep your car from achieving these readiness states. The only exception is if you run catless downpipes and rely on the CANclear system to keep the dash light from coming on. In these conditions, the Procede keeps clearing the pending cat inefficiency codes which prevents catalyst readiness.

But if you have factory cats, you should never trigger any cat codes. So the CANclear system will be doing nothing. And you should achieve all the readiness states like normal.

OP-- If you'd like, turn off the CANclear function in the user adjustable menu and drive some more.

The last part i what I was referring to.

OP maybe you have a bad sensor which is making the procede believe that there are no cats etc. This would then cause the non readiness

And if you havent' already, it should help to do the harness update..

that's what I thought...like i said i am very local to this guy maybe have them scan me maybe they are trying to get over on him.

[texas347]

Possible335i can you PM me please.

Shiv - thanks for the tip I am going outside right now to turn it off and drive a bit. The shop is close so I can stop by and have them scan it again - maybe before they close today.

F your "kittyless"

Catalytic Converters = "Cats"

Young domesticated feline or felid = "Kitty"

[**335i**]

strange that if u put catless dps and v5 cant figure out and u fail inspection....any ideas shiv? 02 implented into v5 should do with can clear function together as in my country they dont check any codes in a dash or plug some obd readers if i dont have any error lights in a dash i should be okay then?

You probably installed the Procede and cleared the codes which now you have to get the 02 readiness code to say ok again...There is a driving cycle that needs to be done to achieve this readiness...

Hey d-bag people refer to them as kittyless also...so get the sand out of your vagina and chill. I was trying to help this guy out so if all you can contribute is a insult STFU and take your websters dictionary and go try to be a hard core cool knowledgable Internet guy some where else.

Ps. Your an asshole

Oh back on topic did this get resolved?

agree with u some people here dont know what they are doing maybe they dont have real life, some people want to bash other in one or another way, forum is created to help each other and share information related with our cars

[brbheels]

Shiv- I'm not entirely clear on what to do which is why i haven't gone from 4 to v5 yet. I'm totally catless, and in NC they plug into the OBD port for any codes. With CANclear V4 passed with flying colors, but how am I going to get around this issue now with v5 as I understand the function the functionality won't be there to give them the readiness codes? Does this mean I have to downgrade back to v4 for every inspection? I've got three months to figure it out, but I was hoping it wouldn't be an issue anymore. Any more tricks in the pipline too get around this issue that a lot of us are having? Many thanks.

When was the last time your battery went low or was pulled? The readiness codes will be cleared if the ECU is reset or if the battery has been pulled or goes low.

It can take several drive cycles to set all the readiness codes. There is a warm up check, idle check (Let car idle for 5 mins), acceleration check 1(accelerate at ~50% throttle from a crawl to highway speeds), Steady state cruise (cruise for 5-10 mins on the highway), Decelerate slowly from highway speeds to a crawl, acceleration check 2(accelerate at ~75% throttle from a crawl to highway speeds), steady state cruise (5-10 mins), decelerate to a cruise.

I think you should be able to stop off at a parts store to have your readiness codes checked. If they still are not getting set, pull the procede and run the basics above to try to get the readiness checks set.

Shiv, are you resetting some of the ECU learning constantly like you are the DTCs? Does the procede fake the readiness codes?

Cheers,
Rob

ROFL.....wow...some people just shouldn't have tunes, or cars that can have a tune maybe.

Good luck.

you're

I love it how you get so riled up. Nobody outside of maybe 4 people on this board uses "kitty" as slang for a catalytic converter, but thanks for the new pussified terminology... get it?


Shiv answered this question earlier in the thread and in one posted a couple weeks ago. The CANclear function prevents readiness and should be disabled before attempting a drive cycle and inspection. For those running off-road or catless downpipes, the Procede user should set the O2 modifier option to 3, but you'll have to play with the values to find a setting that suppresses/prevents codes that allows readiness. Option 0 disables CANclear and the O2 modifier, which should be suitable for OEM (catalytic) downpipes.

I'm curious where texas347 took his car for inspection and if they granted him a credit to retry after a driving cycle. I also live in Trophy Club (when I'm not working in Plano or traveling for work)-- it's a bit of a hike to get to a reputable BMW service location if you don't want to use a local grease monkey.
