Can not get Inspection sticker

Post by Octanebooster »

Hello Volvoians,
Still no answer solution about the " Not all onboard diagnostic functions are available "
....or something like that !
So far I have erased the engine code about evap. PO455 i think !
Did the funky " reset computer " drive, yuh, 3x.
Disconnect batt. and tied the 2 batt. cables together for the total discharge effect.
....at the same time, I disconnected the cables at the engine and ignition compters
under the hood on the rt. side . ( sitting in the drivers seat )
Does anybody else have any ideas ! ?

Thanks to everyone so far for your suggestions and friendliness.
Hey, you can take that to the election booth on Tues.
It really matters to America this time y'all.

You have to drive the car through the cycles to get all the systems sending data. I had to drive the 850R about 75 miles to get everything reset. I don't know about MA, but in TX, you can have up to two systems "not ready," but all the others have to be functional to pass inspection using the OBD II. I wouldn't unplug the computers too often. Sounds like you've reset everything, and it has to go through several drive cycles to get ready messages. There is a thread about this somewhere. Good luck.
