Hi I have a jdm H22a swap, I live in Cali and I have 2 problems passing the readiness settings of the OBDII smog test (I have a BAR sticker). The motor has passed the emissions portion of the test 3 times.

I am running the p13A12 ecu which is the only OBDII ecu that doesn't have the immobilizer. In Cali you are allowed to have one failed OBDII sensor I have two that don't reach readiness.

1. EGR readiness setting never sets, it just throws a code after it tries to set.
2. The secondary o2 heater circuit never comes on so the secondary o2 readiness never sets. My mechanic said the sensor is putting out 7v. He tried to trick it to set but was unsuccessful. My mechanic said he tried everything he could think of but couldn't get either to set. He said the ECU might be faulty but that's pretty rare.. Does the Japanese motor have a secondary o2?

I am in the process of finding a new mechanic to diagnose the issue but have you guys ever heard of any of the problems I am having? THANKS

 

I feel for you buddy! I'm glad I'm moved out!! Best advice is to take it to a well known import mech. That works on soup up rides and they can help you out

 

Ya good advice that's my plan if the forums don't know.
