5 monitors not ready. CA emissions coming up.
Hey everyone so its time for emissions and I checked with my obd2 scanner (no vag com yet) and none of my 5 monitors are ready. The evap monitor had set last weekend and I scanned a bit ago and now its not set. Gas cap maybe? Its a generic one from auto zone long story behind why. I have three code for O2 sensors which are as follows:
P1116 O2 heater circuit bank 1 sensor 1 open P0134 O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 1 no activity P0155 O2 sensor heat circuit bank 2 sensor 1 malfunction I'm waiting on new O2 sensors to come in because I cleared the codes twice and they keep coming back. Now my question is why aren't any of my monitors completing? Catalyst- Inc Evap- Inc (completed once got gas a few days ago and now INC) O2- Inc O2 Heater- Inc SAI system- Inc Why are they not completing? Is there a relation with the code I have? I don't have any pending codes or other fault codes for that matter and the car runs smooth and like a bat outta hell. I'm getting frustrated because I need this to pass because I can't afford a new car at this moment. I'm allowed to pass with 1 incomplete monitor here in California.

readiness code won't clear for x-miles after code have been cleared AND no code set again.
Fix the problem(s), clear the codes, and drive the car until the readiness code clears/sets. Get an emissions extension. |

Readiness can be sped up, see here:

*UPDATE*
Well the O2 sensor replacement was successful and not all that hard and after I drove a whole week without a CEL on but today it showed its ugly face again. I scanned as soon as I got home and I got P1423 and P1411 (SAI flow too low both banks)
Possible causes I've researched are SAI pump Vacuum leak N112 solenoid Sticky/clogged combi valves I also read that if the codes are for both banks at the same time then it most likely is a bad pump or N112 solenoid. Suggestions? Thanks! |

Use VCDS to test the pump operation. It's probably the pump. Also check the large fuse by the ECU... if the pump is bad, you may have blown the fuse also.
