My trucks EGR set to ready today. The truck has been parked on my property (no registration) for the last 3+ months. The EGR monitor was not ready when parked. The truck has ben moved about 100 feet once a week. On a whim I decided to plug in the reader today and the EGR monitor reported ready...

I have been to that site and actually talked with them and the California Bureau of Automotive Repair. Good info, especially if you are not under the manufacturers warranty.

I agree, the catalyst monitor (regens) requires two regen cycles. depending on how the truck is driven that could take a couple thousand. I think from the factory they are set as ready.

They did not change out the PCM. If they do manage to get it fixed please post the solution.

Probably not what you want to hear... The dealer had it for 33 days and was unable to resolve the issue. They pulled the EGR valve and checked it for proper operation. They then reset the entire system (PCM) and drove it for a total of 400 miles trying to get all of the monitors to set as ready...

Well, that would be nice, I would be more than willing to let your tech smog it and pass it.

I looked into that. For insurance purposes it still needs to be insured in California with the LLC listed as a interested party. My current carrier would not do that. I looked into other insurance options. Unfortunately most insurance companies do not want to do new business with LLC's listed as...

Just an update to my issue. The dealer reset the PCM and drove 400 miles using the emissions drive cycles. All of the monitors reset with exception of the EGR. They pulled the EGR and inspected it and found no issues. They submitted a star case. The reply from star engineers was that it could...

That is my future plan. Nine states now require diesel smog testing.

Unfortunately they all have to pass as of this year. Mine is at the dealer for the EGR monitor not passing. I have 42 days till California says it can't be driven on the roads. I may end up with very expensive yard art,

I tried the EGR reset procedure. It did not work, Off to the dealer.

Thanks, I will give those two a try.

Took my 2022 Ram 3500 HO to be smogged today. It failed due to the EGR monitor not being ready. the batteries have not been disconnected or gone dead. The truck has 4400 miles on it since it had the Y43 recall and ECM flash done. Any ideas on what I could before I take it to the dealer 100 miles...

Lemon laws differ by state. You will need to look up the requirements for your state before trying to proceed. I did a lemon law in California (different Manufacturer) with excellent results.
