OBD-readiness, how long?

Some cars become ready after a few drive cycles, others take longer unless you exactly follow OEM drive cycle procedure to get the monitors to run.

A nice easter egg that only Honda has added on their newer cars is a readiness monitor - turn the car on, engine off. The CEL will turn on and then off. If it blinks 5 times after turning off, it's probably not a good idea to take it in for an smog check.
