FINALLY it warmed up enough for the test to complete. When it says between 40 and 95* ambient, it means it and that includes the temp driving too. Also said 10 days or more...

So, today was first time in a while its been > 50 (when driving, the temp went below 40 (39.2) and the test would shut off -- grrr). So today, > 50, drove it 10 minutes (10 days since the emissions test) and bingo - it worked.

DOES NOT matter how many miles, just how many cold cycle starts in about 10 days and you let it warm up 2 minutes, and then drive it to the highway...

I did a lot of different ways, but today, the stars aligned and the test finally finished (the EVAP monitors).

I used the Torque Android App and OBD Bluetooth adapter and waited until the Emissions/DTC showed complete with no DTCs...

SO I'm Texas Legal! Off to get the tags.

Total days 19. Total drive cycles 25 includes all cold starts 8 hours or more. Total 815 miles of driving after reconnecting the battery..
