Default readiness test

My car for some reason fails the
Secondary Air Injection and the Catalytic converter tests. (response failed or incomplete)
Can anyone speculate why?

there is something wrong with those devices.

I wonder how long is long enough....
It's been almost 200 miles and 2 weeks...

Default Re: check your O2 sensors

Wouldn't they also turn on the check engine light and cause faults?
I have no faults or check engine light on and I just got the 50K service done.
I don't trust the dealership very much... They can't even fix a rattling speaker for me.

I still don't get why this wouldn't turn on the check engine light on. I wonder what I should tell the dealer and if it's covered by the factory warranty.

Default Have you gone over 60, in 5th gear yet?

if not, that's also a reason readiness won't get set..
