Can't pass DMV Inspection due to emissions. OBD monitor is not ready to make a determination. We have followed OBD/Readiness Driving Procedures twice. We also put 200 miles on since DMV failure. The OBD Monitor registers ready for everything except the Catalyst however the Oxygen sensor & Cat are all ok.

I've been told this is one of those things with this make! Any suggestions?

thanks!

I'm having same problem with my 1996 Plymouth Neon - can't pass inspection due to "not ready" on four different points. Brought car to Chrysler dealer today and and hoping for a "cure".

If the NYVIP requires a vehicle to receive an OBDII emissions inspection, and the vehicle does not qualify for a waiver (see below), the vehicle must pass that inspection in order to receive an inspection sticker. The failure of the vehicle to pass the inspection can prevent the renewal of the vehicle registration. You must have the vehicle repaired to meet the standards and pass a reinspection.

Inspection Waiver. A vehicle that is required to have the OBDII inspection can qualify for a waiver if:

The vehicle fails the OBDII inspection, but passes the safety inspection, the gas cap check, and the visual inspection of the emission control devices, and
The vehicle receives repairs that are related to the failure of the OBDII inspection and the cost of the repairs is at least $450, and
The vehicle does not pass the OBDII inspection during a reinspection.
The waiver is valid for one year.

After the reinspection, the inspector enters the repair information that you provide into the NYVIP equipment. The NYVIP equipment then notifies the inspector if the vehicle qualifies for a waiver. If the vehicle qualifies, the inspector can use the NYVIP equipment to print a waiver form. You must sign the waiver form, and the inspector must sign the waiver form. The inspection station keeps the waiver form and other documents related to the waiver. The inspector then issues your inspection sticker, and the sticker is valid for one year.

To qualify for a waiver:

You must have the inspection report from the original NYVIP inspection station.
The inspection report must show that your vehicle failed the original OBDII test, but that your vehicle passed the safety inspection, the gas cap check, and the visual inspection of the emission control devices.
The emissions control system of your vehicle must be intact. The system must not show any evidence of tampering.
You must have work orders and receipts that prove that repairs related to the vehicle emissions system were completed at a NYS-licensed repair shop. The work orders and the receipts must prove that the cost of the repairs, parts and labor, was at least $450. If you complete the repairs yourself, the calculation of the cost of the repairs includes only the cost of the parts that were used and does not include any amount for your labor.
