Yo dawg I sent you a textorz, but if you need them rimz with good tires on em for passing Themissions just holler. (I didn't know if it's like inspection at all, and I've never had to do any of that junk)

Andy if you want I can tell you the drive cycle procedures to get them to pass.
On a cold engine, let the car idle for 3 minutes
then drive between 20-30mph for 4 minutes without slowing past 20, or braking. (parking lot)
This is the hard part 40-60mph for 15 minutes without slowing past 40, or braking AT ALL!!!! I usually just get to the right on 85N and set cruise to 59 and piss every mother fucker off on the way up to Chateau Elan.
Then after all that, come to a stop and let the car idle down for 5 minutes. That is BMWs obd readiness drive protocol, and I know it all to well. Cause I almost do it on a daily basis.

OK... so... one of the four flashing icons went away after the drive.
Three still flash, meaning whatever test they need to pass either hasn't completed... or is failing until it passes. My scanner still has a yellow light on the emissions tree.
Here are what remains:
--
C: Catalyst Monitor
OH: Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor
2A: Secondary Air System Monitor

ST055 Emissions Overview
Drive Cycle
The following diagram shows how a drive cycle is set (test drive) in order for all the systems
to be monitored once. The test conditions can be created in any desired order after startup.
Example of a Drive Cycle for Completing all OBD II Relevant Checks
1. Engine cold start, idling, approximately 3 minutes. Evaluated:
(Secondary Air System, and Evaporative leak detection)
2. Constant driving at 20 to 30 MPH, approximately 4 minutes. Evaluated:
(oxygen sensors- acheived "close loop" operartion
Oxygen Sensors- Response time and switching time control frequencey)
3. Constant driving at 40 to 60 MPH, approximately 15 minutes (sufficient vehicle coast
ing phases included). Evaluated:
(Catalytic Converter Efficiency, Oxygen Sensors- response time and switching time(control frequency)
4. Engine idling, approximately 5 minutes. Evaluated:
(Tank Leak Diagnosis ( DM TL Equipped Vehicles after KL 15 is switched off)
NOTE: The diagnostic sequence illustrated above will be interrupted if:
• Secondary Air System
• Evaporative Leak Detection (LDP Equipped Vehicles)
• Oxygen Sensors - Achieved “Closed Loop†Operation
• Oxygen Sensors - Response Time and Switching Time (Control Frequency)
• Catalytic Converter Efficiency
• Oxygen Sensors - Response Time and Switching Time (Control Frequency)
• Tank-Leak Diagnosis (DM TL Equipped Vehicles after KL 15 is switched OFF)
Vehicle
Speed
Time
• The engine speed exceeds 3000 RPM. • Large fluctuations in the accelerator pedal position.
• The driving speed exceeds 60 MPH.
You can try and do them individually.

what kinda cryptic double dare shit is this?

Hahahhahahahhaha, that is BMWs recommended drive cycle for ALL OBD2 cars. I have to do this every time a car comes in that can't pass emissions.

lol i bet this reminds andy of finding pr0n on hotline. some wild goose-chase shit.

I'm thinking the ECU isn't liking the trickster approach with the sims? I dunno. I feel like I did everything right last night. I even re-did the 20-30 test again because I thought I may have overshot 30mph.

YES. I went to the required link, and the second word from the bottom of the page IS NOT WORKING.
