Went for my BAR Referee appointment yesterday and failed multiple items.
The major fault I have is two of my OBDII monitors are not set to ready (2nd Air System & Evap. System), from what I understand the DME is not getting a signal that they have self tested and are functioning properly. I do not have any P0XXX codes coming up and no check engine light and I know the 2nd Air System is functional because it turns on when I have a cold start. He suggested I go to a smog station and have them read the Mode $06 data to verify the monitors are working.
That said I have been doing research into what Mode $06 data is and I am reluctant to go to any smog place and pay to have them read these codes and give me a proper diagnostic. I can get a code reader pretty cheap but is anyone familiar with how to use these codes? Can I use DIS, INPA, EDIABAS to diagnose?
