ok, so I just checked with my scanner and it still said that it's not ready for emissions testing. I clicked on the bottom right on the ? for help and something popped up saying:
"This vehicle is not ready for emissions testing
Reason
Does that mean there still unresolved issues with my car to deal with?
And Rick, I think I am gonna buy this upgrade for the scanner. How long is this sale for?
"This vehicle is not ready for emissions testing
Reason
- EGR System: Incomplete
- Oxygen Sensor: Incomplete
- Secondary Air System: Incomplete
- Number of incomplete tests exceeds the maximum number allowed"
And Rick, I think I am gonna buy this upgrade for the scanner. How long is this sale for?

Google OBDII drive cycle. It will explain everything. You can actually set it in about 15 mins with some careful driving.

Sorry, that is NOT by any means certain. It is quite common that a fault prevents monitor(s) running and also you get NO codes. This is why trigger-happy clearing of codes is not wise (as well as it's going to be impossible with new cars).

Almost certainly true.

You'll find that different cars have different drive cycles. You're best using the one for the car you actually own![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I think you'll find that drive cycle ASSUMES you have a Ford PCM with Ford software etc. The S-Type doesn't.
It's not the mechanical parts you're exercising so much as the PCM's vision of the sensors and actuators.
Generally, just varied driving will in practice be enough and so almost any drive cycle will do (subject to any specific stuff like height above sea level, cold soaks, fuel level etc). But if you have a vehicle that's being a pain you want to follow THAT specific vehicle's drive cycle not a generic Ford one.

The sun would of been yesterday. LOL. We actually got it off with purple power degreaser and a carpet brush with lots of elbow grease. Joel scrubbed it off and I got the little bits of white with some clay. Then I buffed out the scratches from the brush. Since it was about 1 in the morning when we got done were able to see if the scratches were buffed out in the sun. Also got that bulb out of the headlight. Everything checked out with the emissions. It has been pouring like crazy here all day also, dont worry you arent alone. Could be worse I think my dad said in Michigan where he is at they got 3" of snow.

Honestly, I didn't have a chance to see it then, cuz I went with some friends to Panama City Beach for Spring Break, but I'm pretty sure it looked good. I took it to Vance's place this past Saturday, we washed it up again. I'm just gonna make one more trip this saturday to clean up the inside.
I used my Elm Scan Tool this afternoon to double check my emissions. I might sound dumb asking this but I'm gonna ask it anyways. In OBDwiz, if you go to "Monitors", then "Monitor Tests", at the bottom it first would say this "This vehicle is not ready for emissions testing." Then I went to the upper right section under Monitor Tests where it says "US State" and I selected "NC - 2001 and newer" then at the bottom it said "This vehicle is ready for emissions testing" I kinda messed with with back and forth with the US State changing it from "None" to "NC - 2001 and newer." Everytime I put "none" it'd say at the bottom "This vehicle is not ready for emissions testing" but when I'd put "NC - 2001 and newer" it's say "This vehicle is ready for emissions testing" What's the deal with that?

Its because every state is a little different on what they check etc. So if you pick your state it will check for what that state requires to know if you are good. There are also different parameters that are considered passing for different states so its checking to see if its within those parameters for the state you have selected. When we used mine I had it already set for NC from checking my car.
