How are you all passing inspection in MA with a Tune? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

MA has been 'cracking down' in the last few years where if any of your OBD2 monitors show 'unsupported' they flag you and you have to bring your car to a state 'motorist assistance center' for them to go over it with a fine tooth comb.

Even with catalyst showing supported and ready, it doesnt pass.

What tune and mods do you have and did you pass in MA?

I had to deal with this back in March, I put my stock catback + fp back on but went to get it inspected with catless UEL's and a OFT tune and it automatically got MAC'd. I ended up putting the OEM headers back on and flashed the tune back to stock, and drove ~100 miles for everything to be ready. The MAC center went through everything in my engine bay and made sure it was all stock but I was in and out in like 20mins

Did you do the recommended drive cycle or just drove normal for 100 miles?

I think I was one of the first to get flagged in January 2020. I believe you will need to run the older open flash stage 2 tune. The new tune is based off a European tune file which disables a few of the monitors. Or you can a O2 spacer on you catless header with a stock tune which i have done and passed.
