I can't get an emissions certificate. I had a failed PCM replaced at the Ford dealer over 2 weeks ago. I have about 5 sensors that are failing readiness set. Is there some special driving cycle I need to go thru to get the sensors to go to ready?

first, I would read this site:

http://www.obdii.com/drivecycleford.html

This is basically a cut and copy from the ford workshop manual. Now, how many miles have you put on it in the two weeks since last testing? At least one of the monitors should have set (you have 8 monitors total) - the first three set as soon as you start the engine. Before doing the drive cycle in the link, I would unhook the battery for 15 minutes to 'reset' the pcm, and then perform the steps outlined. See if this helps!
 






Good lord, need to take a day off of work to do this...Insane! but I will try. Thanks.
