[kwlug-disc] OBD-II/OBD2 Diagnostic Scanner

[Chris Irwin]

If you wipe the codes before going for your test, you'll be given a "Not
Ready" result, because you won't have any diagnostic information remaining.

It looks like in that case, you can go for a conditional pass after two
tests (after having driven >30KM over >24 hours). However, that appears to
require the traditional tailpipe emissions test, which you must presumably
actually pass.

Don't take my word for it, though. I'm just some guy reading the MTO
website. I'd go start your eTest process as soon as you possibly can, and
talk to your technician about it. You might want to make sure the facility
you're getting tested at can still do tailpipe tests.
