I'm sure this an half idiotic question, but I've tried to do my due diligence and can't really get an answer from a Google search or thread searches. I need to get my WRX smogged and had it flashed to the Stage 1 map. I uninstalled yesterday (although I may have not even needed to), but will it still take a while for monitors to cycle through and show ready, or would that only have happened if I had cleared CELs?

I feel like a dummy for waiting this long to uninstall when I need to get my smog check within the next week or so, but at this point I'm concerned that the OBDII test will show some monitors as not ready since I don't drive very much. Any tips/info would be appreciated.

 

Here you go. Think this is what you're after.

At stage 1 I would have just left it and had it smogged. Now that you've unmarried the Accessport you'll have to make sure all the readiness monitors are completed before you get it smogged.

 

See post #7 in the Nasioc link posted above, this procedure will complete the readiness monitors. For future reference as Chris said, no need to uninstall accessport

 

Thanks guys. The post in the NASIOC thread is super helpful. And lesson learned- next time I'll just leave it flashed to stage 1.
