2010 Buick LaCrosse, 3.0 L V6
My car has P0442 (Small Evap Leak). Just recently fixed P0050 (HO2 Sensor Bad). I have replaced the correct HO2 sensor (There are 4 total HO2). My ODB II scanner shows
P0050 is now gone. I need to complete the HO2 system monitor check. It is incomplete at this time. I am trying to get my car to pass Texas State emissions. I can pass
the emissions test if I only have one bad emission code (not two). I am Following the prescribed ‘Drive Test Procedure’ taken from the Chilton’s guide for my car:Complete System Set Procedure for 2010 Buick
Turn off all accessories open hood
Set parking brake
Start engine – let idle for 2 min
Close hood – Release parking brake
Accelorate throttle (45-50 mph) maintain this speed for 8 minutes
continue to operate for additional 6 minutes (5 -8 Miles)
Accelerate to 55 mph for 2 minutes
Release accelorator pedal for 10 s (Allows vehicle to enter the decel fuel cut off
Note: Do not touch accelerator pedal (Invalidates Test)
Stop the vehicle with engine in drive – let vehicle idle for 2 minutes
Shift vehicle to park. Turn off engine and exit vehicle (Do not disturb for 45 minutes)
Apply scan tool – All I/M systems should say YES
I have driven over 400 miles (Trying this procedure). So far the HO2 monitor has not completed.
Q1: Do the smog monitors run independent of each other or …
Q2: Can having a P code active prevent an incomplete monitor from running to completionI would appreciate anyone’s input regarding my situation. Thanks
