You dont need to drive around for a few days to get the ECU ready for the Etest actually. You only need to start the car, go for a short drive, then turn it off. Start the car again, go for a highway drive for 5 minutes, turn the car off after, and you are ready for the etest.

The ECU needs to go through 3 complete drive cycles, and it'll only counts as a new drive cycle if the engine is cold. Cold means the coolant sensor must be within 11 degrees of the air temp sensor to be exact... that will take several hours of cooling. I work at Honda and we've had tons of our cars sitting on our lot (08+ Civic's, Accord's, ect) fail because the battery died from sitting for so long which erases all readiness codes from the ECU.

Nope, that is false information.

Mike was specifically talking about the S2000. If you don't know the answer I suggest you don't post false information.

forgive my ignorance but if the new etest only reads check engine codes, as long as a car is not throwing a CEL it could then technically pass an etest without so much as a catalytic converter correct?

Yeah you could pass with no cat but the readiness code must be set. The ECU checks a bunch of emission related things on initial start up after total power loss. Some of the fuel trims also need to be set. You can log on with an OBD2 scanner and check to see if the readiness code is triggered.
