I took my '02 Ranger 2.3l in today for its emission check and was sent home. The technician said that I needed to complete a drive cycle so the monitors could run their diagnostics. The odd thing is that I have never erased any codes and have not disconnected the battery for several thousand miles.
According to my code reader the following monitors have not completed their diagnostics: O2, O2 Heater, Catalyst, Evaporative System.
The Misfire, Fuel system and Comprehensive Component are OK.
There are no trouble codes showing on my reader. I talked to the service dept at my local Ford Dealer. He had not heard of this problem and gave me the generic "...drive about 250 miles" (which I have read elsewhere in this group). I found more specifics on drive cycles at http://www.obdii.com/drivecycleford.html
Should I reset the monitors and start the drive cycle over? FYI-truck runs fine. I got 28 mpg from the last tank of gas.
