In internal combustion engines, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is a nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions reduction technique used in petrol/gasoline and diesel engines. EGR works by recirculating a portion of an engine's exhaust gas back to the engine cylinders. This dilutes the O2 in the incoming air stream and provides gases inert to combustion to act as absorbents of combustion heat to reduce peak in-cylinder temperatures. NOx is produced in high temperature mixtures of atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen that occur in the combustion cylinder, and this usually occurs at cylinder peak pressure. Another primary benefit of external EGR valves on a spark ignition engine is an increase in efficiency, as charge dilution allows a larger throttle position and reduces associated pumping losses.
In a gasoline engine, this inert exhaust displaces some amount of combustible charge in the cylinder, effectively reducing the quantity of charge available for combustion without affecting the air fuel ratio. In a diesel engine, the exhaust gas replaces some of the excess oxygen in the pre-combustion mixture.

Thank you for this! I was having the hardest time getting my EGR monitor ready, I followed this video and it worked!
Excellent!, thank you for the amazing feedback!!!!!!!!!!
I've been driving around for over 8 days to get my monitors ready. I did this once and I can go get my emissions test tomorrow! Muchos Gracias!
Di nada, Glad to help, thank you so much for the feedback!!
De nada señor
Same here. Good to hear. Gonna try this and report back
I didn't know about not touching the brake! Thank you! I'm going to try it tomorrow so I can finally get my emissions done here in NY.
Glad it helped!
You are the MAN!! Thank you! I’ve had to replace the map sensor due to a broken wire but still couldn’t get my EGR to reset. Need a NYS inspection. Doing this process this morning cleared the egr light on my monitor. I’m ready to get inspection. Thank you!
James, thanks buddy for the great feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to post your success.
After you pass the inspection do you need to do all of this on the next inspection ?
@atikmustapha1719 if you have no other issues until that inspection then no. Make sure you battery is good and also connect a memory saver when replacing the battery.
The problem is i still have a pending code p0449 on hyundai sonata 2009 i had problem with fuelling but i changed the canister and also the cylanoid valve but the code is still coming up
Your video saved me! I have been trying to smog my 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse for over a year, bcs the EGR was not ready! I was at my wits end when I found your videos! Thank u so much! I couldn't even perform the drive cycles perfectly...I just got the miles in and the decelerations in the way you said whenever I could. It was so hard bcs I live in the San Fernando valley, Ca. Your the best! Took me literally 2xs driving after my nightshift to get it done!💜🙏
Glad to help.
I'm in the Valley too. The 14 north and south have become my EGR test highway.
I tried this 2x but only got up to 55mpg..I'll give it 2 more tries and go 65mph and let it drop to 0mph..
You don’t need to down to o under 20 mph is good. Try decelerating as go up a big hill or incline above the 65 mph and don’t touch that brake pedal.
You are the best absolutely work. I knew some cars you had to slow down to close to zero without hitting the brakes. I did not know that was for the EGR monitor.
Thank you for the great feedback about the egr video.
Bought a 2012 Porsche Panamera that I couldn’t get to pass the smog test, the last code was VVT/EGR code, smog guy said it just had to be driven, went from CA to AZ & back, still didn’t clear, took it to the dealer, they said it just needs to be driven 🤦🏻♂️ I found your video did this yesterday and it passed WOOHOO! Thanks for the great information. FYI, I did this 3 x’s just to be sure as my code reader doesn’t work on this car but, I did it on a steep uphill incline and was easy to hit 65 and let the car drop to almost a dead stop. 👍🏼
Carl, thank you buddy for taking the time to post about your success on the porsche. I made these videos to help avoid this insane and little know knowledge about the subject other than to keep “driving”. Lol 😂 this information should be made public by the emissions station but there is way too much money to made by confused consumers so they want to keep us dumb and numb.
Bro you rock... I’ve been dealing with getting my Si to pass emissions inspection, I got a catless downpipe, got it tuned with Hondata to prevent any CEL, my 02S and Cat wasn’t ready, so I got a defouler installed, tweaked with Hondata a bit, drove on the highway 55-60mph steady, now cat and 02s is ready but EGR/Evap isn’t. With your guidance, EGR is finally ready and I can go pass emissions
Glad to help. I wish I could hear your si with that Catless downpipe. I appreciate the feedback.
what did u tweak with hondata i’m having the same problem as you
Thank you! Worked great for my 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe
Glad to help with your 2015 Sante Fe egr monitor. Thank you taking the time to post your experience!

Awesome, thanks for the great feedback. _Randomfix
1999 Chevy Tahoe Limited 5.7L Vortec. Changed the OEM fuel injector spider with the new system. All my misfiring codes and the monitor is up and ready. Put some CATACLEAN. I’ve driven about 69 miles thus far and plan to put about another 200 and perform the drive cycle since my EGR/catalyst monitor/EVAPORATE and secondary air systems have not completed yet. Your guidance and INFO always welcome and appreciated!
“EVAP” darn autocorrect! lol
Only add cataclean once all monitors are set except catalysts as it's only a temporary and it can get expensive.
@@RANDOMFIX EGR cleared!! All is left as of today Catalyst, Secondary Air System and EVAP!
Don't worry about the evap, focus on a long warm up for secondary air section and high speed drives for the catalyst. Since it's a pre 2000 check with you state as some states allow multiple monitors not to set on pre 2000 vehicles.
Awesome Work
Thank you for positive feedback. _Randomfix
Does the scanner update the status automatically when it is plug in or do you have to replug it in to get updated information for the I/M readiness?
This one doesn’t update automatically once the monitor sets. The ms301 does have that feature
Does it have to be a cold start? All my monitors are set except egr on my 96 Impala ss. Can I just keep trying the 65mph coast to under 20mph over and over in the same area til it sets or do I have to let the car rest after a couple of tries and try again different day?
It does not have to be a cold start. Here is the gm drive cycle.
ua-cam.com/video/Yp34ksJY-fQ/v-deo.html
Also, check your egr to make sure it functioning or else you could be driving for a long time.
Thank you sir. It works
Glad to help. Thank you for taking the time to post this.
I have air temperature sensor circuit on OBDII. The price on the car repair is more than I can afford right now. To clear the code it won’t work if that is on?
Air temperature sensor?
I’m sorry I don’t follow, can you more specific? Provide as much detail so I can help. I’m here to help.
I’ve tried this multiple times and hasn’t cleared the code yet. I don’t have a check engine light on. Would replacing the EGR value solve the problem? Or at least where should I start with replacing parts?
Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
I just changed the battery on a 1997 Nissan Quest, and the EGR monitor is not Ready. How long do you have to drive at 65 mph before decelerating to 20 mph? Also, how many times do you need to repeat this sequence? I have done this procedure twice and cannot reset it.
Is the egr the only unset monitor? What state do you live in?
Here is the nissan drive cycle

Not working on my 02 duramax 😢. When you coast down to 0, are you supposed to turn it off?
Sorry to hear this isn’t helping with duramax, here is the gm drive cycle ua-cam.com/video/Yp34ksJY-fQ/v-deo.html if th gm video doesn’t help you need to check the eye valve as it’s 20 years old now and may need to be cleaned or serviced. Best of luck and let me know what happens
2016 Audi, I downshifted few times and it worked. Thanks bro
Good to hear, thank you for sharing your success on your Audi.
i need help 2000 explorer v8 awd had a code replaced egr system completely no more code but its not getting ready. ive done three offical ford drive cycles and put on an extra 100+ miles of highway driving its still not ready. also evap isnt ready NO CODES just not ready
Check the video link for the drive cycle. I give specific instructions about your evap system. ua-cam.com/video/j8ZFTE1rSfA/v-deo.html
And you tell your system is ready without tools in this video ua-cam.com/video/LllIXoqUKJ4/v-deo.html
Good luck
There are lots of other solutions online, but only yours worked! Although it's hard to find a place to drive up to 65 mph and then let it decelerate to 20 or so without touching the foot brake, this actually gets the EGR readiness done. Thanks again!
Jack, thank you for the great feedback.
How long do you have to drive the vehicle at 65mph before you decelerate to 20mph and below? How long should the car be warmed up for before starting? My EGR code is reading not ready. Thank you!
For as long as you can, the high speed driving will help set your catalyst monitor. At least for 5 to 10 minutes if you have a functional catalytic converter but if you car is older you will need to drive longer at high speeds. If you need additional help send me the make and model and I will give you exact directions. It's like a game of wack the mole ( remember that game at Chucky cheese?) And focus on the unset monitors. Keep me in the loop.
@@RANDOMFIX , my catalyst monitoring was reading incomplete this morning. I took it for a 20 mile drive and now it’s good. Only one that is left is the EGR code.
@@RANDOMFIX I have a 2013 Porsche Panamera. Just need steps to make the EGR code Ready. I’m in Georgia and need to get my tag renewed asap.
How long do I have to drive over 65 mph before I let go of the gas pedal? My EGR Valve for my Porsche Panamera is reading incomplete. Need it to read ok so I can get my tag. Thank you!
Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
bro these are all good questions, can you please answer them for the benefit of everyone else? there's no point in asking them if they already found a solution. The answer to their questions will help others regardless. Thanks
@@RANDOMFIX
It worked. Turn vehicle off then on after for monitor to update.
Thank you! I did the test and it worked! I followed the advice to restart the car and it showed a “PASS” after the restart. Make sure to restart!
My 1997 Sentra's EGR monitor never reset doing this test. In CA cars prior to 2000 you can have 1 monitor X meaning fail to be ready I use a new $50 Autel scanner. It showed ! In red meaning not ready. Evap and EGR red x's. Fail. I added fuel up to 3/4 a couple of times. Retested cold starts too. and scanner showed a green checkmark meaning ready. All of thus happened as my battery had died in a spare family car. I returned for my 3rd retest $8.65 cost, showed them a photo if my scanner reader and they said it would pass. It did. I had no error codes ever. Just a red x showing monitors which were not ready. I paid $55 for Carlisle monitor 329 I paid a bit more as I was in a small mountain town that had a Napa store. If your car in Calif is 2000 gas type only the 1 error if evap us ok. That's the gas cap error. Great UA-cam education thx.
Cool, thank you for sharing.
Same issue, 2013 Subaru Impreza. Just had some transmission work done to clear some fault codes and a check engine light.
So far I’ve driven over 600 miles and still can’t get the EGR monitor ready.
Do you have a video specific to Subaru or is it the same recommendations for drive cycle in this vid?
Thanks in advance!
Here is the Subaru video ua-cam.com/video/w3DF4g2h96M/v-deo.html
Thank you! I’ll give it a try and report back hopefully when the issue is resolved.
Good luck and keep me in the loop
@@RANDOMFIX So.. got my OBD2 scanner a day early and all sensors were ready except the EGR. Attempted a few 65+ to manual downshift to nearly 0mph drive cycles and no dice. I suspect I may have an issue with the EGR valve itself so will attempt a clean this afternoon and try again later on. Hoping this works or the next step will be a new EGR valve. I'll update after the clean and test.
Did you watch the Subaru specific drive cycle?
Okay, I've been driving for over 1200 miles trying to ready my EGR & EVAP systems for NYC emissions inspection. After viewing this video I was a little skeptical but since I've run out of options I figured I'll give it a try. So, after driving my wife and daughter to work and school I jumped on the highway to drive up to 65 mph and then reduce speed until stop on a nearby exit. EGR remained NOT Ready. So I tried it two more times without success. Then it hit me, I needed to pull over turn off the car and then follow the instruction without pressing the brakes from beginning till the end of the drive cycle to ready the EGR. BINGO! It worked on the first try! So, moral of the story "do not drive the wife and kids first" no, just start car, once the car is on drive mode do not press the brakes, drive up to 65 mph and reduce speed safely without pressing the brakes, then you are done.
Leonardo, after 1200 miles I'm glad to hear you got the EGR ready. Congrats and I don't think you need to worry about the evap as it's exempt in most cases. Thanks for sharing.
so just drive to the spot you’re going to do the 65, turn the car off then on, go to 65 mph then coast to 20mph?
@@charlieandrade7545 yes. if you can coast to 10 or even 5 it would be ideal.
@@Leo.SKDXL05 just saw this but i will give this a try, I’ve just been trying to coast but i guess i missed the part where i have to turn the car on and drive straight to 65 then coast most likely will have to do it in no traffic thank you !!
Thank you for this regarding turning off the car before the cycle. I am able to go down to zero where I test so I will give it a try.
Does this work for 2018 Audi A5 Sportsback? Thanks!
Here is the Audi drive cycle. Let me know if you need additional help. It’s a little long but it’s better than burning gas for no reason.

I hope this works 💀.... I'm at my wits end and I'm in California to. From 65 to a rolling stop? Do u reccomend turning car off once it coast down to a crawl? I have a 2002 Mazda mvp
Anything you can do slow down without using the brake pedal. Hills are a big help
GREAT

I’ve put on my bmw 740 2012 almost 20k miles and the EGR it’s still not ready for emission

Honda Accord 1999 EX EGR not ready. I’ve driven it for about 200 miles regular drive. EGR still not ready. After hitting 65 MPH how long do you hold it. One minute? And once you come to a stop. Do I turn off the car?
Go back and watch the video it’s 55 mph for ten minutes then ya coast down below 10 then back to 55 for 2 min then coast below 10mph then turn car off n back on

These egr car be a little tricky and keep in the loop, I've had subscriber confirm similar story after driving for 1000+ miles only to find that they need to visit a dealer to calibrate the readings.
2012 fiat 500 c I had a leak from vacuum pump O ring the car has not permanent code or side codes but it won’t get ready the egr I fixed the leak but been driving for over 300 miles but the egr won’t get ready for smog and s suggestion for getting egr ready for somg on fiat
did you ever get your smog passed? I have a fiat 500c and is having a hard time getting the EGR ready as well.... driven over 500 miles already
My 2013 Fiat 500 pop has the same issue. EGR monitor is not ready after running 700 miles. I tried this five times in vain. Any help?
Watch the fiat drive video ua-cam.com/video/dyYv4HpYPys/v-deo.html
Any tips for my 2015 Honda Civic? Tried this a few times still hasn’t shown ready.
Just the egr? What I have learned about honda is the at vtech system and egr system need to push these systems. Use you gear box or accelerate really hard and then coast to a stop. Try this 3 times. If you search this video “ control + f “ and search honda to see what other did.
On my OBD, the EVAP System and EGR System both read incomplete so far but now I can try the cycle again. I have replaced the Throttle Precision Sensor. As I cycle, anything to be aware regarding these two readings? Thank you in advance.
Hi Jim just focus on egr as the evap is exempt in most cases. What are you driving?
@@RANDOMFIX 2004 Mazda Miata Mazda Speed. My understanding is this is common among Miatas.
Just focus on coasting from 65 mph to under 20 without touching the brakes but you down shift and use the parking brake to slow down. You don’t need to do any of the beginning steps that I show in this video.

Good luck and keep me in the loop, thx
@@RANDOMFIX Thank you for your reply and the extra vid. I know a little about cars so this was a big help. I Keep you posted. Best!!
Glad to help
FYI, EGR will not get ready for thousands of miles if you have a bad TPS (Throttle position Sensor). ECU needs this to accurately measure EGR performance at various engine speeds. It was a $20 part for my 2005. Puzzled me for a while since all EGR componets were brand new including vaccume hoses.Phewww!!!
Thank you for sharing and yes other components can keep the egr from setting. How did you finally figure it out?
What year and model your car? Bad TPS make ERG will not ready? My 2005 Honda Pilot. EGR still not ready for thousands of miles too😂😂😂 I guess TPS fail? Thanks for help
So I have egr/vvt not complete on my e check. I have had motor work and they deleted the vvt and I have a cam and ported and milled heads. What can i do to pass? Thank you for any help you can give me🙏
Ahhh, I wish I had better news but I think I will give the bad news first. I think these monitors will not run and will not get completed so you may not be able to pass an emissions test that check for readiness.
With that being said I would try to get a real address in an exempt country ( I don’t know where you live) as that will be the only means of getting your reg tags.
The other option is to get a dirty smog or under the table illegal smog which is whole other subject for another conversation.
Keep me posted and I hope I am wrong
@@RANDOMFIX thank you
Can I do My 2010 Genesis to pass at this milage that You used? I have tried numerous times at different drive Cycles nothing works?? I have no pending codes only EGR VVT won't clear
Please respond
Here is the drive cycle for your genesis. ua-cam.com/video/UzC4FNTqNdI/v-deo.html
For the vvt system I would drive in an aggressive manner over 5.5k rpm to activate the variable valve system. For the egr you will find what you are looking for in the video.
I’ve tried over four times in my 2019 Honda CRV without luck. Any suggestions? Moved from NC to CA and trying to pass smog for over a few months now.
Is the egr monitor they only unset monitor?
@@RANDOMFIX yep. The only one!
@nataliedavid688 presuming you have no pending codes and your battery is good ( is the original battery?) ua-cam.com/video/cV6NewPWo2E/v-deo.htmlsi=hclOBsCg1bUsMVYY
I would go above 65 and slowdown to under 20 mph without touching the brake pedal. Your egr should not have an issue or blockage as it’s only 5 years old. It helps to stick it in the 4th gear and rev up to over 65 mph and keep it that same gear as it will slow you down and the vehicle will notice the sudden decrease in speed and activate to test the monitor. Keep me posted. Sorry I’m responding as I’m grocery shopping 🛍️, excuse any typos
Question: If 5 monitors out of 8 are “ready”, and then you get an ECL (engine check light).
Will erasing the engine check “DTC/ Orange light” reset “all monitors back to all 8 monitors not ready?
Yes, reset the check engine light or MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) will reset all the monitor and you have to start your drive cycle from scratch. Instead focus on the monitor that not getting ready. I will be making specific video for each make very soon.
@@RANDOMFIX so if I fix the engine check light /DTC for example P0440 (evap small leak) , will the ECL go away?
@@DJizz82 con el evap..te pasa el smog...no hay problema
Hi, I have 2019 crv with 2.4 engine. I have to do smog now in California and all the monitors are ready exept EGR, I did this procedure about 6 times ( acelerare above 65 then release accelerate pedal until allmost 0 mph ) and no luck for me, EGR stills on, no DTC’s or pending codes. Any other advice, Thanks I apreciate it
You get this fix? Seems this issue is quite common on Hondas...Particularly those with k24 with VVT.
@@Idtelos yes, I got it fixed, it looks like it’s a common problem in Newer Hondas, all of them have this particular EGR monitor problem, the solution is quiet, simple all you Gotta do is get your RPM above 6000 and keep it there for at least 6 seconds once you do this EGR calibrate right away, so what I did I put my CRV in lower gear and keep it over 6000 RPM for almost 10 seconds, I know this is a little aggressive for the engine, but that’s the solution for this common problem in newer hondas, because doing my research, I found out that it’s a common problem on a Honda Odyssey’s, Honda service, Honda Civic’s, and Honda ridgelines, best regards
Thanks for the reply and glad to hear you got the issue resolve. I got a 2020 civic and that egr/vvt sensor not ready has been annoying me for 300 miles now. Not an aggressive driver, so I will give it a go and see it resolves the issue.
@@Idtelos I think it will work, as long as you don’t have OBD codes or a faulty sensor. It sound like that it will work. I heard that you need to stay above 6000 RPM for 10 secs, but 6 seconds will make it, good luck, letme know if it solved your problem
@@mauroarcomaldonado2455 Took the car out today, put it in sport mode and using the pedal shifters I kept the car at 6k rpm (2 to 3rd gear) for ~10 seconds then coast it to about 20mph for a trip of about 3.5 miles. It did the trick! Which was great! I appreaciate the feedback. On another note, Talking to an Acura tech, newer Honda/Acura vehicles do not have an EGR valve but do have VVT (variable valve timing, i.e. vtec). The elimination of the EGR valve is the result of the VVT's ability to control gases entering and exiting the combustion chamber. Anyhow, for VVT to activate (vtech kicks in!) , you need to get it to high rpm for a fix amount of time. Acura techs know about this issue and when customer bring the cars in, they take it in a quick 15min drive and get the EGE/VVT system ready by using pedal shifter, manual shifter to high rev the engine barring any other issue with engine.

I have a 2016 nissan sentra and the egr just won’t active any tips?
You may need to do several drive cycles before it sets, check for pending codes, always do a cold start before starting your cycles (your engine temperature must be at or below ambient temperature) and if nothing works consider getting your oil system checked as sometimes sensors can be malfunctioning but not triggering a check engine light. Good luck
Chung, sorry for the late reply, did you figure out how to set the egr yet?
How can this drive cycle be done safely? I can't imagine being able to get to and from the highway without pressing in the brakes at all. Please advise. I have a brand new 2022 Honda HRV that will not pass emissions after 3 tries. I have driven it almost 1000 miles. EGR and evap are still not ready!
drive in the middle of the night - freeway offramps are good too - back roads that nobody uses
Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
I performed this 4 times just now, with one attempt perfectly executed from 65 to 0 without touching the brake, just let it decelerate and shifted down (automatic transmission) and finally used my handbrake to a complete stop, my reader still says my EGR us incomplete. It’s a 2011 Subaru Forester. Got any other tips?
What caused the egr data to be deleted?
It worked! Took 4 tries but I got it
Nice job.
What did you do?
Is the make of your vehicle? I have specifically make video for each make, check the smog tips playlist

Hi,
I replaced my EGR valve and did this recycle test several times but still get EGR not ready. Could this be a software issue?
Thank you in advance.
Jim
Yea same bs video L
Same here. Did you ever get it to pass Jim? I've replaced EGR, DPFE. Sprayed my lines to check for leaks. Nada. My mechanic said he could get it passed for 500 bucks. I'd love to avoid that. He said my CEL could have been on for so long that it "burned" into the computer? Didn't know that was even possible.
@@corninyourpoop I did the same replacements and checks corn, drove this recommendation as well as a dealer cycle, all to no avail. I haven't heard about the CEL burning your mechanic mentioned. I still try in hopes of a miracle. If you are in California, it may help you to check into their referee program before shelling out that kind of money to get it passed. Good luck to both of us!!
@@jimdeangelo4270 thank you for replying :)
I'm actually in Vegas now. I am from TX originally, where I never had to do smog. I moved to CA and was like "y'all have to do what!?". It was a shock lol. I think next year I am going to get a PO box in Pahrump. It's only 50 min from Vegas. They don't do smogs there. If I register there, I won't have to shell my cash out every year. The way the economy is going, I'm trying to cut as many corners as possible so I still have a car! Take care Jim and thanks for the help, good luck to you too ♧
@@corninyourpoop Good luck In Pahrump corn. I worked in that area several years ago. At a "haunted" motel about an hour away. Saw wild Mustangs-a beautiful sight. Best to you!!

Okay, keep me the loop.
@@RANDOMFIX thanks gonna try again tomorrow I didn’t shut off the engine after the tests thanks again
So I have 750 miles trying to reset the egr the mechanics cleared all codes when replacing the mass flow sensor and doubled checked my car two weeks ago- the smog guy said may need a reflashing- it’s frustrating and now gas is 3.99/gal it’s no fun!!! I’m at a loss

Awesome, thanks for the great feedback. _Randomfix
I got the same exact one you have I had it for like 15 years. But when I plug it in when the car is off it lights up but it doesn't do anything no matter what button I push it only works when I start the car. This thing stayed in my car through all the seasons I'm just wondering if something corroded inside the monitor meter. Or if one of the pins on the plug-in part is not going into the OBD2 socket correctly. Anybody have ideas I just ordered a better Advanced one from Amazon supposed to get it Tuesday with a lot more bells and whistles. And boy am I having a lot of fun trying to get the cat monitor ready. I drove so many miles and it's not ready. I followed so many UA-cam videos nothing yet
Sorry to hear your issues with the incomplete catalyst monitor. For drive cycle get the 319 or 329 for under $30 as the auto refresh for drive cycle amzn.to/2z0YTcF

@@RANDOMFIX okay I will probably get back to you once I get the new OBD2 on tuesday. Before that does both oxygen sensors weren't ready also. But I drove 10 miles today and now they are ready. Thank you for the offer as well
Been trying to get my EGR on my 99 prelude to ready for smog... Everything but the EGR is ready... found this video and tried it. Did 65-20 twice and it still shows it’s not ready 💀💀

I'm here to help you on that video
I have a brand new 2023 mecedes sprinter 2500 diesel brought from out of state. Smog failed because of EGR not ready. Dealer told me keep driving. Now driving is over 2200 miles, i checked EGR still not close yet. Followed this video tips, no luck. What a ....
Wow and the drive cycle data is reset or lost? So the egr is normally pretty easy to set, go over 65 mph and coast to 20 under 20 mph without touch the brake pedal. I a complete is great if you can do it. Do that 3 times and rescan. This should set pretty fast as your sprinter is brand new and the egr system is going to clean. Keep me posted and I know the mbz had issues with the 907 sprinter egr but I have never heard this effects brand new sprinters. I owned a 907 sprinter and even did a video about the drive cycle. ua-cam.com/video/9720Gwjt6Uk/v-deo.htmlsi=ahAYYV7C5Jlv_muT
I got my egr and all minister to set in under 100 miles with no issues.
The question I have is why did the data get lost?
EGR never set. I have been trying your instructions a few times. Just no luck. I went to the same smog guy 2 times, and failed with the ‘ exhaust gas sensor’ not ready. I use my scanner, it shows the same. Not sure it is a defect EGR Valve or something else.
@wolfzhang6502 I'm in the same boat with a 2024 Sprinter 2500 AWD. Did you ever pass smog?
I clear the codes with my OBDII monitor, and the check engine light went off, but when I go to read the codes again, they’re all still there? Weird
Sorry alex for the late reply! did you find a solution?!

@@RANDOMFIX car was in the accident
Got it, thanks for sharing. Normally auto body shops have a memory keeper device so this does not happen.
Go 55 Mph for 20 minutes and slow down to 20 mph without touching gas or brake and repeat a couple times.
Multiple attempts with no luck. 2003 Nissan Frontier 2.4L. Evap cleared with everything else easily. EGR still INC. 😪
I have a EGR & EVAP & SEC AIR SYSTEM THAT IS INCOMPLETE AND NONE OFVTHIS WORKED IN MY 2001 S430 benz ..I’m heated
Sorry to hear your frustration I would focus on the secondary air injection system and also the EGR system afterwards don't let that evap system bother you too much as it is not required to be ready. If need additional help with sec air let me and I can help you. As to the EGR, I have a video on my smog playlst the deals with this exact concern. Best of luck. _Randomfix
For Mercedes secondary air moniter.
When car is cold start engine, at idle listen for secondary air pump which will run for about 90 seconds. Once Secondary AP stops, run engine at 1300 RPM until engine temp gets to 83°C, then let idle. You will hear secondary air pump run for about 8 seconds. Once it has done that' the Secondary Air Moniter will be ready.
Smog guy said drive below 60 mph for at least 3 minutes then coast to a stop,also various websites say slightly different things.
My code reader says all clear but the smog guys one still shows EGR and evap.
Gonna try some below 60 and some above.
Once my BMW took forever and a mechanic said as a last resort to change all O2 sensors with new high quality ones and it passed.
The coast down from 60 mph will help, also try for 40 mps around town..here is the full bmw drive cycle ua-cam.com/video/mk6Tk330Acw/v-deo.html

@@RANDOMFIX Thanks. I'm done with the Beemer. Doing a 2002 Miata and also my f250 that some lowlife stole the cat off of.
Sorry to hear about the cats being stolen off. I'm in California and the 2nd Prius is hot for same issue. None stop, I know a guy that got his cats stolen twice on one year.
@@RANDOMFIX The muffler shop guy said the Prius has the most Rhodium.
Toyota goes all out to make a clean vehicle and it's reward is being targeted by criminals.
All the stimulus checks I've received don't cover the cost of one catalytic converter,the stolen O2 sensor and install.
In effect all my stimulus went straight to criminals.
Not just me. Every shop I went to was backed up or sold out.
They're having trouble keeping supply.
It's a huge tax to pass a law requiring us to have something then letting thieves take it.
The FBI could shut down the whole scam with a sting operation on whoever is buying the stolen goods.
To bad they're busy spying on parents.
Yeas And it's all scam you can get a good direct replacement for under $200

Egr not ready brother. I can definitely use your help. Ive installed a new egr and tps. No code lights. Just egr not ready... 😢 im loosing hope.
Does not lose hope, here is the honda drive cycle that goes to a lot depth ua-cam.com/video/oZELvZ4danA/v-deo.html and how to tell your prelude completely ready without any tools. ua-cam.com/video/cxpE_I1cKh8/v-deo.html
What state are you in? Some stated doesn’t require all the monitors to be ready!!
Most important before you put the new egr did you clean egr passage? This ver very common to build up and not allow the air to flow. It is pain the neck to clean as you have soak the passage with throttle body cleaner to help slowly dissolve the carbon build up.
Let me know what you find when you investigate and good luck 🍀
My car didnt pass the smoge check because: catalyse . 0BD11 NOT READY . EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM. ANY IDEA?
What state are you in and also what year is the car?
@@RANDOMFIX california. 04 honda crv 150k miles.
Daniel, did the smog tech actually test your 04 honda or just tell you it wasn't not ready? Last I checked I in California, the evap is the only monitor that is except as long as all the other monitors are set. The smog technicians and shops get dinged a point for passing a vehicle were the evap is not ready but it will pass if they actually smog it not screen it. Keep me in 5h ev loop on what happens. If you still want to get by the evap ready there is not much you can do other that have no more than 3/4 to no less than 1/4 tank of gas and park on a level surface.
Can't I jack up the vehicle, put it in drive and just let the wheels spin?
I know sounds like a good idea but it's really bad for your motor and transmission. If you still having a hard time setting the egr monitor, let know what's the make of your vehicle and I will send an exact drive cycle video for your car.
How much gas is required???
The egr is not dependent on the fuel level, the evap monitor does rely on the fuel level.
I have a 02 gs300. Still can't get it to pass the "E" I'm just wasting gas.
I'm working on the lexus toyota video but its extremely complicated. What monitor are your struggling with?
@@RANDOMFIX on the Emissions status. The ones that flash before being ready to pass a smog test. Letter "E" monitor I think its the EGR, but No worries now, the inspector said he let me pass. I'm in California. So I was able to get my license plate sticker.
If he let you pass, then it was the Evap. That's the only one that Is except in California if year 2000 and needed.
@@RANDOMFIX so I guess for the Evap to pass. I need about 3-4 cold starts. I had done 2 cold starts and the inspector said all i need was one more cold start to have that evap monitor pass. but yes, it wasn't necessary for the evap to be ready.
my egr monitor will nit set in my 2001 mazda protege at all we taken to several different shops and noting works they even put a new part on there what do i do? i just got in accident in my other car and we are a family of 4 with two drivers down to one car HELP !!!! should we just sell the car
Jazmine, if all other monitors are set except for egr. Go over 65 and slow down to under 20 mph without touching the brake pedal. Complete this step 1 to 4 times and verify egr monitor using a simple $20 obd2 reader, I had links in the description of the video. Let me know how it goes. _Randomfix
Try this, it's a long video but it takes you step by step on an actual drive cycle. The guy is driving a Mazda too ua-cam.com/video/7YcOdYJzIzQ/v-deo.html
@@RANDOMFIX you have to choose your road carefully.... like a highway with a long flat or uphill off ramp... so be sure to be above 65 well ahead of the off ramp like at least half mile. Then let off gas try to coast into the off ramp no gas. Best to do late at night or early morning before other cars come on the road.
What about the cat monitor? My cat and the EGR is not ready but all others are
The egr is set by the coasting like shown in this video ua-cam.com/video/jldTJI64cfM/v-deo.htmlsi=jB7hl1MiSySs6vou
And your catalyst or cat monitor is a little more complicated. Why caused the inspection data monitor to information to erased? This whole playlist is just for incomplete cat monitors ua-cam.com/play/PLDEbtVOPRC-h1BAzaWQ-6NSnmG0gwvgwP.html&si=c4dT9s6_jZ_MpwgC
Keep me posted and let know any specifics
@RANDOMFIX everything was erased because the car was broke down for 3 months and in that process the battery died and I had to charge it. So now the car is fixed and this emissions crap. I am able to get 2 temporary plates 30 days each from the DMV . I am going on somewhat of a long trip this coming Tuesday all different speeds and I will take that car. I have the same scanner you have as well LOL but I also bought a more expensive one but it's pretty much almost the same. But the one you got and I got I had for over 15 years. Yes I will keep you posted thanks for getting back to me quickly! Oh I also see that I did tell you about the scanner you have and the one I got sometimes the screen doesn't light up like it should. So just to be on the safe side I bought that new one
@BugzKiller just make sure you battery is near perfect, I have found that if a battery does died just one time it may keep some inspection monitors from setting. You have to load to it and confirm the testing voltage is above 12 volts after a 10 minute head load without the engine running. This affects o2 sensors monitor more than others
@@RANDOMFIX oh yeah I checked all of that doing that for years on all my cars with the battery the oxygen sensors are fine and everything else except for the cat and the EGR like I said. Thanks though

You don't show how you got the device to get to the EGR error. Plug it in, then what?
What are you driving?
@@RANDOMFIX A Chrys T&C but that has nothing to do with the tester. I have the same one and didn't know it could do readiness. You video could have included the steps where you do a scan then go to the option on the tester menu that checks the readiness items. I found it regardless and it shows the end results as you have in the video.
got a 1998 e300d and EGR ready takes 5000 miles
5000 miles to set the erg monitor?
@@RANDOMFIX With the engine temperature at 80°C:
- Start and Drive vehicle (in D position) and then accelerate smoothly up to 2000 rpm, and then decelerate smoothly back down to 1100
rpm.NOTE: If using a Hand Held Scan Tool to verify test completion. This will be indicated by a check mark in the display field or the word PASS or COMPLETE. After this test step has been completed, turn ignition OFF, wait 10 seconds and repeat this test step again.
above is the official way to get it ready - for me it doesn't seem to work - but driving normal every day over the course of 5000 miles always works
I’m still trying 400 miles later and a new EGR valve still EGR not ready no check engine lights never ever. All this was because I change my goddamn batteries in my truck.
Mark, what are you driving?
I'm having this exact same problem except I put on about 600 miles so far after changing my battery. 2013 Chrysler 200. No codes... no rough idle or symptoms of a bad EGR valve. The monitor just WILL NOT GET READY
Watch do dodge smog video on the smog tips playlist.
The fact that I can’t use my brake. Who do I sue?
No one, be smart about when you can run your cycles. Consider doing it in the later part of the evening or early morning. Coast to under 20mph and then speed up again to over 55 for 3-5 minutes and then come to a complete stop using your breaks only when you have are under 20mph again.
I always try to find some country road someplace where there's no cars.
I live on a busy street and I have noted that traffic is lightest at about 3:00 AM. I started trying this technique at that time at a place with few crossroads. Almost no traffic at that time.
