Hi, my car failed air care because the ECU was picking up some codes (knock and o2 sensor). I didn't know at the time, but my CEL was out, otherwise I never would have tried to air care it. Anyways, i got the parts replaced and the ECU has been reset. How far should I drive so my car to see if my ECU picks up these codes again so I can get it air cared?

i drove around for 20 mins , 10 on highway and 10 in city strait to aircare and it passed, only 1 code was showing up and i think your allowed 2 before they make you dyno test it. Had the code reader handy though :)

Car died the morning I was supposed to take it to Aircare. Jumped it (which clears ECU) and I drove up Cypress and back from Metrotownish, and it was fine for Aircare.
