How can you tell if emissions monitors are enabled with Ecutek ROMs?

Long story short, I need to get a smog done and my readiness monitors don't seem to be on.

I have headers and an Ecutek tune, and when I use Ecutek's tool to look at the readiness (if I remember right, it's accessed via Tools > OBD Readiness Monitors > Oxygen Sensor Monitor) it doesn't look like its ready. There are a couple other oddities but the main ones I'm concerned about are in bold below:

OBD Monitors
- Supported not checked off, but shows ready
--- Heated Catalyst Monitor
--- Secondary Air System Monitor
--- AC Refrigerant Monitor
- Ready not checked off, but shows supported
--- Oxygen Sensor Monitor

Drivecycle Monitors
- Enabled not checked off, but shows ready
--- Heated Catalyst Monitor
--- Secondary Air System Monitor
--- AC Refrigerant Monitor
- Ready not checked off, but shows enabled
--- Oxygen Sensor Monitor




Regarding the Oxygen Sensor Monitor, I thought I was going to see:
- supported, not ready
- not enabled, not ready

Instead, I'm seeing:
- supported, not ready
- enabled, not ready

Wth? I have headers and haven't been throwing any related codes, I'm also not doing any of those non-fouler mods. Besides that, I was pretty sure (its been a couple years now) that the monitors were off.

I opened up the ROMs and looked at the logging params, but as I recall those are just some default setups (I think the tuner creates the list) and all params can be accessed at any time, its just a thing to look at, it has nothing to do with whether they're enabled or disabled.

I don't think I can run the OBD Readiness Monitors tool unless the ROM is flashed... I have a bunch of ROMs from all of my tunes over the years, that'd be a lot of flashing to find this needle in a haystack...

Is there any way to find out whether monitors are enabled/disabled on tunes quickly and efficiently, without all of the brain washing?

Side note, ignore the DTC, its a Flex Fuel related issue.

Ecutek tunes dont fool readyness monitors npr does any tiune system i know of fool readyness or alter them.


If you disable a DTC code in a tune to stop a cel light it doewnt set the readyness to good it jist stops cel code.


Often disavling the cel may prevent readyness from ever passing.


Flex fuel kits generally hijack the evap pressure inpit or the rear 02 senspr input ant therefore will stop readiness monitors from completing and getting to pass

When I was on OFT, it was able to fool readiness. I passed smog with the tune and catless headers. The smog stations only check by obd in my state. I hope I don't have an issue with Ecutek because I just switched over.
