Currently failed my emissions test also when the inspector put the ob2 scan in he said it was reading a 16 digit vin instead of 17 which I was confused I made sure the vin was correct but I didn’t check if in the notes if the vin was there or not, also he said there was no communication for the 02 sensors and I fix the issue but now my only concern is I see post about set readiness but when I check on the online tap it’s not there is set readiness there automatically I saw a post that says it’s set automatically I want to know if it’s true

Bro, ask Hondata directly. There was a new law a few years ago in CA where the inspection includes checking your CVN to verify that’s there’s no modification to the factory tune. I have a feeling they changed something in the software to avoid liability. It’s considered defeating an emissions device, and the EPA likes to fine tuners.

I like fine tuners but not so much the EPA in this reguard. Why don't they go pick on all these mayor companies that do more damage an hour than any one of us can do in a lifetime? Not trying to start a disscusion on this one. Look what VW did!

Because shutting down a company as large as VW would destroy the global economy. Pretty sure they paid a hefty fine as well.
