I have a 2007 Toyota Corolla. Went for emissions test after replacing the battery and we failed the test. It showed 'Not Ready' because of the new battery.

What is the drive cycle for the above.

You must perform an OBD2 drive cycle to make ready for testing.

  • Fuel tank at 1/2.
  • Engine cold start idle for 10 minutes.
  • Drive at highway speed 55-60 mph with steady throttle for 16 minutes.
  • Return to idle for three minutes with engine running in park.
  • Drive again at medium speed 40 mph for eight minutes.
  • Return to idle for three minutes.
  • Repeat next day.

SOURCE: steering wheel of my Toyota Corolla LE 2007 vivrates

Hello. A vibration in the steerign wheel indicates an issue with the front tires. They are either out of balance, and would need to be rebalanced, or it is possible (although remotely) that the tire(s) may be compromised (after hitting a pothole), the belts in the tire may be corrupted. What I would suggest is to take the car to a reputable tire place, and get the balance checked. While the tire is on the balancer, the Tech will be able to see if the tire is out-of-round due to possible road damage. Probably just a tire balance problem. Thanks for choosing FixYA for assistance.

SOURCE: emissions test comes up not ready - can't pass inspection

Under the hood, there is a fuse block. I believe it is on the driver's side of your vehicle. Open that box, and pull the "ECU" fuse. Leave the fuse out for at least 5 minutes. Put the fuse back in, start the car, and let it idle for at least another 5 minutes. Do not drive the car, touch the gas, or even look at the gas pedal for these 5 minutes, as the ECU is remapping itself. This will properly reset the ecu and clear the codes. After this you may drive the car.

SOURCE: How far to drive for drive cycle?

I dont think it matters how far you drive as long as it gets completly warmed up and then gets completly cooled down.
It sounds like you already know this but But for other readers benifit I will add that there are some details that can make the process quicker.
this only pertains to 1996 on up vehicles that the check engine light is NOT illuminated.
When preparing for emissions tests after unhooking your battery, there are readyness tests that have to be completed before your truck is ready to be tested.

  • Basicly in a nut shell, all they do at the emission station is to make sure that your check engine light is not coming on because of any issue.
The way they check this is observe the light before and after they start up your vehicle. If it goes out after starting then your good.
except for one thing, they hook up to your trucks computer and see if your computer has been reset. if so they confirm that your truck has ran its readyness tests.
Thus if there were any problems then the light would be on.
Then it dosnt pass
  • If your readyness tests are not complete and your light is off, then they will send you away and tell you to drive your truck for a few days and then come back. Hopefully then the readyness tests will be done
You can expodite the process by driving in certian patterns for different tests.
The pattern that I have found that works the best to complete the most tests, is
  • Start your truck and let it warm up completely,
  • then drive the truck at a steady speed at 40 to 50 mph for 5 miles
  • coast down to 30 then back up to 50
  • then coast down to 30
  • When its convenient stop and let the truck idle for two minutes,
  • Then turn it off for at least 5 seconds. thats it.
Where I live there is traffic and it is very difficult to find a time or place to drive it at these speeds for that far.So I just follow it the best I can.
I use this dirve pattern all the time and 90% of the time It will run the tests it needs to pass.
If you havent unhooked your battery or reset your computer recently, and your check engine light is not on then you dont have to worry about any of this information, your car should pass emissions test.

SOURCE: What is drive cycle miles to make ready emission

a drive cycle is not measured in miles driven but in the type of driving done, here is a ford drive cycle procedure to clear the not ready code.

Ford Motor Company Driving Cycle Description of OBDII Drive Cycle
The following procedure is designed to execute and complete the OBDII monitors and to clear the Ford P1000, I/M readiness code. To complete a specific monitor for repair verification, follow steps 1 through 4, then continue with the step described by the appropriate monitor found under the "OBDII Monitor Exercised" column. When the ambient air temperature is outside 4.4 to 37.8°C (40 to 100° F), or the altitude is above 2438 meters (8000 feet), the EVAP monitor will not run. If the P1000 code must be cleared in these conditions, the PCM must detect them once (twice on some applications) before the EVAP monitor can be "bypassed" and the P1000 cleared. The Evap "bypassing" procedure is described in the following drive cycle.
The OBDII Drive Cycle will be performed using a scan tool. Consult the instruction manual for each described function. NOTE: A detailed description of a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Reset is found in this section, refer to the table of contents.
Drive Cycle Recommendations:

  1. Most OBDII monitors will complete more readily using a "steady foot" driving style during cruise or acceleration modes. Operating the throttle in a "smooth" fashion will minimize the time required for monitor completion.
  2. Fuel tank level should be between 1/2 and 3/4 fill with 3/4 fill being the most desirable.
  3. The Evaporative Monitor can only operate during the first 30 minutes of engine operation. When executing the procedure for this monitor, stay in part throttle mode and drive in a smooth fashion to minimize "fuel slosh".
WARNING
STRICT OBSERVANCE OF POSTED SPEED LIMITS AND ATTENTION TO DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE MANDATORY WHEN PROCEEDING THROUGH THE FOLLOWING DRIVE CYCLES.

For best results, follow each of the following steps as accurately as possible:

Yes, but only if you fail emissions testing and the car cannot be registered unless it passes test. And if not clogged and not necessary for passing I would just leave it be.

After tightening the gas cap, you will have to drive the car a few 'cycles' before the light goes off. If that doesn't work, have the trouble codes read to find out exactly what is wrong and causing the light to illuminate.

This is very common on Matrix/Corollas and is repairable by way of replacement PCM to correct invalid parameters. the labor is low but the part is very expensive.

Expect approximately $89 or less in labor, and $648 for the new PCM
