Catalytic readiness with hfc
Has anyone have success on getting the catalytic readiness code to set with a hfc? I'm using a berk hfc, driven about 85 miles and it hasn't set yet.

mine sets all the time, I've got the Berk 63.5mm. Is this the first time running this HFC on your car ?, maybe something isn't connected properly ?.

No issues here with '06 and '02 cars. Readiness is never un-set from what I can tell. These are 63.5mm Berk high flow cats with OEM secondary O2 sensors.

AP1 in manual (Ckit):
Abbreviated version:
Start engine
Idle 20 seconds
Keep neutral
Increase to 2k rpms and hold for ~3 minutes.
Drive 50-60mph in 5th gear
Drive 90 seconds without moving throttle position.
Coast for several seconds without using the accelerator or brake.
Billman:
There is no mileage quota for any car ever made to make the ECU "ready" (meaning complete all monotors).
It goes by parameters, and them being met. Can happen in 3 miles, or over 200.
In some cars, conditions are picky and they will take over 150 miles to make ready. Basically, you are meeting the enable criteria on accident if you are not following the exact enable criteria, for that car, for EACH parameter (or monitor).
Lucky for us, the s2k monitors complete very fast, I have done it in 6 miles.
Fastest way:
Start the car cold in the morning, drive around local 5 minutes, shut it off (this will complete a "trip").
Start it back up, take it on the highway and set the cruise at 60 for 3 minutes (this will complete a second "trip", and make two-trip monitors "ready" like the air pump monitor).
Example: if you start the car cold, and drive it 10,000 miles without shutting it off, the two-trip monitors will never run and you will fail inspection
It's all about parameters...not miles.

It finally set today. After my initial post above, I filled the tank and on this tank I put on about 160 miles. I went for a long drive today, it was a nice day so I put the top down, hit up the canyons to the beach, had lunch and went home. Once I got home I checked and the catalytic sensor finally set.
