And it keeps saying the Evap and 02 sensor HTR are Not Ready. Doesn't say they failed but that it isn't ready. I've driven at least 150-200 miles in those 4 days so wtf is the deal. I'm hoping someone here can help

Are you just driving or are you completing drive cycles?
Is there some special process?
I'm over here at Arbor Lube off of lake creek and 183
Yeah, there's a pattern. Check page 7:
http://klearmedia.com/personal/bmw/BMW_OBD.pdf
I've used this before and it works.
You can read all about my trials and tribulations with those sensors and drive cycles HERE. I was able to get all of my sensors to register READY a few times in a row, but never got my CEL to clear. I think I have an electrical problem beyond my capability to diagnose.
I don't have a problem with the CEL being on
If You Have Any Type Of Devise Installed To Improve Your Gas Mileage - Remove It & It Will Pass Inspection !
True, but my last few weeks have been spent trying to reset the sensors to "READY", with mixed results. Last weekend I was able to complete the fifth straight successful drive cycle, and second day with ALL sensors reading READY when I started my day, but after I reset my CEL the light came back on within ten seconds, and a couple of my sensors reset to NOT READY.Quote:

Did you use the BMW drive cycle
These drive cycles are a headache never had a vehicle that did this
take it to a little mexican corner shop. they will pass it.
lol anybody know of anyone in the Austin area? im about at my breaking point of waking up and doing these drive cycles. this is the 3rd day of doing the drive cycles described on this page. I love this car, but man this whole drive cycle thing really makes me take a 2nd look.
OT...
Hiya Texaggie...
..you have a PM from me re back door grommets.
Cheers
jo
I needed other parts as well (the plastic release levers that are on the back of the 2 front seats) and I found em at Isuzuparts.com
Cool..glad ya got the bits you need :thumbup:
jo
im actually surprised how many parts Isuzuparts.com actually has. Now I cant find anyone with replacement factory emblems.
Are you talking about body emblems...
( as in replacing de-badged stuff)
...or the VX grill emblem?
Jo
Scratch what I said about the parts. None of the parts that I purchased they carry anymore. So yeah
Isuzuparts.com is not a source of parts for the VX anymore.
I ordered my fan clutch and fan from them a very short while ago.
the parts i ordered that they no longer carry are the 4 door grommets for the back door that hold on the door panel. And I order the four seat levers that are able to lean the seats forward for entry into the rear seats. None of which they carry or will ever carry again :/
I only have 1 lever left on my seats. the inside lever on the passenger seat.
A member (& former owner) sells replacement hardware for the spare tire cover that replaces those grommets:Quote:

Almost coming to the end of 2 weeks of doing driving cycles and still cant get the EVAP or O2 Heater sensor to read "Ready". Im just about ready to drive my beautiful VX off a F***ing cliff. :/ Cant register it until I get in inspected in the state of Texas
For the seat parts try Recaro. For an option for rear door "ISUZU" badge you could use one from a medium duty Isuzu truck. Should be able to get those at one of the dealers.
I've been doing this driving cycle everyday for two weeks now. There's no way I can be doing it properly. This is absolutely insane. In other news thanks to JoFotoz. The grommets to my back door came in and now the door is looking great with the panel on it. I'd post a picture but I'm using an iphone at a gas station checking the computer with a handheld obd2 computer. Please does someone have an answer for these ridiculous drive cycles?
I'm almost certain due to these drive cycles that my VX is prettiest POS I've ever seen. :/
We first discussed driving cycles on 7/24/14, and today is 8/1/14, so you mean "a" week instead of "2" weeks ;)Quote:

And looking at your original post, you indicated the 02 sensor as well as evap heater sensor. There are 4 02 sensors. Did you check all 4 to make sure they're all connected?
You would think if it wasn't connected or needed to be replaced it would throw a check engine light right?
So where exactly is the EVAP sensor located. Im trying to locate and reseat the sensors to make sure that corrosion isn't the cause of these sensors not readying up.
