Bro, you get butt hurt faster than a fat kid that had his cake taken away. Maybe be apart of the community and then you wont have to jump on a forum where no one knows you expecting people to help you out with something illegal. I sure as f*#K wouldn't help you. you're probably some kind snitch lmao

I switched back to stock hardware and reflashed to the OEM tune. Drove out for 20 or so miles and then took the car to the smog shop. The pre-check showed the Oxygen Sensor, Catalytic Converter sensor, and Evap system were not yet active.


At the shop's recommendation, I took a drive out for 100 or so miles up in the hills. Upon my return, the O2 and Cat sensors had activated and were showing green, but the Evap sensor was not yet active. The shop said to let the car cool completely and before starting the next day, open up the fuel cap for 10 seconds and then close, before starting the car. Apparently this helps reset the Evap sensor. Otherwise, all I have to do is drive the car for about a week before the final sensor is good to go.

Wait, just want to clarify things: Did you have an OFT tune and then just flash back to the stock tune or did you unmarry the whole thing? I think my smog is due in august and i'm trying to get a head start on how i'm planning to prepare for my smog.

And do we really need the sticker in the stock hood cause I sold mine a while back and now i'm worried oof LOL

I used to OFT to flash back to the OEM flash which should be saved on your tablet. I did not "unmarry" the device.

The "Married/Unmarried" status has to do with the tablet being paired to a car. The car ECU does not know if it is "married" or not, it is only a metric that the tablet keeps record of.

As for the whole hood thing, I'm not totally sure what info is pulled of that. I believe it looks something like the below.

AAC Smog Test and Repair in the bay area.

Older Chinese gentleman running it, he was nice. Seemed like he had a few elderly people coming in and asking free advice and quick repairs so I tried tipping him when i left just for being so efficient and he ran out to give me my cash back. Thinking about it, that's probably a no-no haha.

Any tune that does not disable the O2 sensor/evap should pass the check. If it does disable it, it will show up as not ready or unavailable. CARB/stock tunes do not have these disabled. Some tuners maybe able to do a custom tune where they keep that enabled, where technically it should pass.
