2013 Did not pass emission test

Hello Everyone

My 2013 did not pass emission testing this morning. The attendant said their computer did not have enough information to download in order to complete the test. She asked how much I drive it. I told her a couple times a week but mainly weekends and of course no winters. She then said that it still may need to have some consistent city/hwy driving cycles.

Has anyone ever experienced something like this?

Thanks,
Ed

Did you just change the battery? It resets things and you have to put so many “cycles” on the car. I had this happen as I changed my battery just before my last emission test. Put 50-75 miles on it under various city and highway conditions and all was well.
