Hello BITOGERS,
The car I am asking about is a 2001 Camry V6 1MZ-FE w/210K miles. Recently a CEL appeared during a drive back from school. I have an Autel MaxiScan MS300 CAN OBD-II Scan Tool that I used to read the code once I got home. The DTC I got was a P0141 O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction Bank 1 Sensor 2. So I'm assuming that the issue is an oxygen sensor hopefully.
I purchased a Denso 234-4137 O2 sensor to replace my hopefully faulty post-cat sensor. Okay, here's where the problems kick in.
I am due for a NY State inspection by the end of the month. However when I checked my OBD II readiness status on my Camry using the Autel scanner this is what I got back:
MIL - ON
Misfire - Ready
Fuel - Ready
CCM - Ready
CAT - Not Ready
HCM - N/A
EVAP - Ready
2Air - N/A
A/C - N/A
O2S - Ready
HO2S - Ready
EGR - Ready
I am very confused why my CAT readiness status is showing up as Not Ready. Also, if I'm throwing a P0141 code (related to the O2 sensor) wouldn't the O2S show up as Not Ready as well? I'm assuming that the faulty O2 sensor is not letting the system monitor the converter properly, therefore showing that the CAT is Not Ready. Hopefully someone here can set this straight for me.
I plan to get my post-cat O2 sensor replaced this Saturday and do the inspection that day as well. However I was told that once the work is done to the car and the DTC cleared, the Readiness Monitors would not be "ready" to pass inspection.
I hope someone could help me solve these issues. Thanks
