I/M Readiness Drive Cycle
I/M Readiness Drive Cycle
I've attached the "Drive Cycle" sequence(s) for those that have the Gen 5 Maxima and are trying to pass smog, especially for California.
I've made the mistake of replacing the battery just days before my registration and smog check was due. The most difficult was to get the Catalyst monitor to run. I had driven over 400 miles and it still showed "Not Ready". All the remaining monitors were triggered after ~200 miles. Had I found/used the attached sequence data I could have triggered all monitors in a timely manner.
Follow the sequences closely and you should be able to get all monitors to run, assuming there are no DTCs.
Best of luck.
