2005 ML 350 Catalyst not ready

Hi,

I am trying to pass my state smog check, but my vehicle did not pass the Catalyst part of the smog check, so I need to know the drive cycle for our models, so my vehicle can pass the smog check.

The check engine light had to be on at one time. Was it?

You now must have the codes read in the ECM to see which CAT is at fault.

the smog tech plug their scanner into the vehicle OBDII port and scanned the vehicle to see if the vehicle is I/M ready to be smog check. When the computer finished reading the vehicle data, the computer says Catalyst is not ready.

You need your own scanner.
