Ok I have been having problems with my 02 sensors since my longtubes were installed. Finally wound up replacing both of the front with Motorcraft. Drove the car for the last 2 days and put about 74 miles on it, then dropped in to the shop to get inspected. I thought all the monitors would have reset already but I guess not. Looks like I have 3 left to reset:

02 Sens
02 Sens Htr
Catalyst

I would like to know for sure they're reset correctly before I go back again for the retest. I have a SCT and a laptop with the Livewire on it so I can datalog, but not sure which PIDS I need to check to see if the monitors have reset and are good to go for inspection.

Did you get a good emissions tune made for the longtubes? Almost every tune turns off the rear o2 sensors so you will need an emissions tune that not only turns them on, but compensates for the distance changes due to the o2 sensor locations as well as the higher flow of the cats for the long tubes if you have cats.

As for checking them with the SCT, I don't believe the codes that the inspection station looks at will show up on the SCT.

Yeah it was retuned to keep the cats on for emissions reasons. It's still not throwing codes but just did not want to reset the monitors. I was hoping that I could look at the datalog to see if the had reset so I wouldn't go back until I know its going to show rdys. Transport delay has already been increased to account for the movement of the front 02s.
