O2 sensor says 'not ready'. Check engine light not on. Rejected two times at emissions testing station. Driven one hundred miles in one day. still failed test a few days later. Stalled going up incline/hill yesterday. Took it to an emissions mechanic who is baffled as well. I have until 3/31, or i can't get my plates. out of money and patience.

Please give me an answer.

Cordially,

Good morning,


Was there a code that was set before?

I attached a chart for the monitors. I need to know if any of those codes were present.

Hello.

Thanks for your timely reply and assistance. I will show this to a few shops and see what their answer is and get back to you.
As for the code set before, I don't have a clue. This is my first time getting this car tested. Also, to my knowledge, the battery was never disconnected which would require the sensors to be reset. Furthermore every sensor says "ready" except the O2 sensor.

I just got this car in September 2018.
I can't afford to pay a note and keep paying for issues not on my warranty. Just my luck emissions and exhaust systems aren't covered. Anyway I really appreciate your help.
I am so tired of being duped because I am a lady. Once this mystery is solved, I will always check and verify before I pay out any more money. I will be in contact.

Bless you!
