Yeah, I was going to exclude that drive cycle list, not really doable here. The easy way is just drive on the highway for a while, get off the highway and leave it in drive for a minute or two while at a complete stop. I'm not sure what the headlights have to do with anything either. I figure a couple of ski trips into NY or VT in January and I'll be good to go.

 

I think the lights and radio thing have to do with readying sensors for powerdraw from the alternator or battery or something like that.

 

Just a follow up, went to inspection and passed today.

Now I gotta go give it the old SC tune!

 

I passed inspection last week after multiple SC tunes and only 20 miles since the last flash. Was it that easy for me just 'cause it wasn't flashed by the dealer? Same OBDII sensor readiness check.

 

Well I know for sure that I initially failed due to the dealers flash of my PCM.

 

wow your dakota looks mean im DEFINATLY going to 2011 or at least a 2011 front end....
