My parents asked me to help them with their 2008 Nissan Rogue which doesn’t get much use these days. I got burned last time I did a Smog Check where the codes weren’t ready and I had to pay a no pass fee, although it was partially applied to my final fee. One employee used a scan tool and checked to see if the conditions were ready.
So I checked and found the O2S and CAT conditions weren’t ready. I drove it around lunch and so far it looks like the O2S is ready, but not CAT. I’m thinking that might be the longest to be ready. In any case I’m not going to take it for the actual test until these conditions are ready. Any thoughts on how much driving might be needed for the last co diction to be ready? Most newer vehicles don’t even get a tailpipe test any more - just plug in to the ECU to see if it says everything is fine.
