> doesnt work like that buddy. infact it has very little to do with “miles” of use at all. Heck, the moment you fire the car about half the readiness checks are performed right there. Secondary air injection for instance. if the engine is cold, the SAI pump should be triggered to turn on and lean out the car for warmup, then shut off at XXX temp later. So without even putting it in gear and moving, if your SAI system isnt working (turning on, leaks, flows wrong, etc) not only will the readiness say fail/incomplete it will throw a code and moments later the CEL will be on.

it works depending on what the code is and the vehicle…i have done it to 3 vehicles in the last year and a half…for instance my mazda with throw a lean code with my intake but it only happens when you have reset ecu and put almost exactly 300 miles on the car…it only takes 50 miles to clear 7 monitors for inspection so theres a 200 mile window to inspect it
