I am very confuse. I need some help passing my smog inspection.

They said my ECU cycle is not complete yet. Something like that. They said run it on the freeway for 1 hour straight above 60 mph. They said stop n go wont help.

They said the owner I bought the car from erase all the CELs before I bought it.

My car is a 1998 Honda Lude.

Help please.

 

highway driving won't cycle the ecu. its from a number of cold and warm starts over time. i couldn't tell you how many you'll need for inspection, but just putting miles on your car won't do it. just don't unplug your battery or pull the ecu fuse. that will reset it, and you start from square one.

 

Thx bro.
Anyone else could help me?

 

it just means all the fuel trims and what not havent stablizied yet becuase the ecu as recently reset. I would just drive it around for a week or two then bring it back and you should be ok. just make sure not to let the battery die or unplug the battery during this time.

 

dont remove radio/ecu/battery fuses either...some check engine lights only occur after continuous driving conditions so give it a week or so before you go back
