I have a 1.8. No available replacement yet. I may just make my own parts...

I suspect thatI will find myself buying an extra manifold and using it to make my own header. I doubt anyone will produce one for the 1.8.

They shouldn't see it. However it is likely that you will still not pass the plug in test. The ECU needs to pass all the readiness tests to pass the OBD plug in test. If one of the readiness codes are disabled then it will never get the positive readiness response for that particular test. When they plug in the car they will simply get a "OBD Not Ready" or something similar and send you on your way.
At least this is how it has worked on any other car I've done this to. Would like to hear feedback from BRN or Trifecta.

Good catch. And ironically if you need to pass an OBD readiness test it may very well be.
I would like to have the ability to alter the readiness table timing. For off road testing purposes only of course. An example, the downstream AF sensor has to go undervolt for 5000 seconds to fault VS the 20 it may require now....
Not for my Sonic but another car I'm working on could use this very much.

Correct. OBDII emission test structure and basic function is the same across all manufacturers (federal mandate). If you disable a monitor the test will show "not ready". Depending on the monitor the tech may try to set it by meeting a prescribed criteria on a short drive... only to be very confused when it doesn't set and will probably try to do diagnostic work on your car.
So make sure all your monitors are on and set before you go for an emissions test.

Hmmmm. From what some users are reporting, it can take several hundred miles for the code to pop. If I enable the monitor just before inspection, I should be good as long as no code is present, correct? I'm just trying to get a handle on what I'll be facing at my next inspection. Thanks for all the feedback so far!

Is there any way to disable...say....the nanny traction control systems using this software? If so, would it still turn on when the button is pushed? I understand that you guys can't program this from a liability standpoint, but it would be interesting if users could easily do it for themselves.

nope. not happening.

Are you saying "not happening" as in it can't be done using this software, or "not happening" as in vendors won't give us any hints on how to do it ourselves? I'm already well aware that there will never be a tune released with this feature.

We apologize for Eric's un informative post.
The tuners won't disable Traction control or Stabilitrack due to liabilities.
If you figure it out on your own then that is on you
