Vehicle 2004 Ford F150 SVT Lightning
U7158 v.7r5
I recently purchased the above vehicle with the predator pulley tune installed. I went for an inspection sticker last week and failed the emissions due to OBDII not ready to be read. I was told I just need to drive the vehicle more to complete the normal drive cycle and the OBDII system will then be ready and I will pass the emissions.
I checked the predator for what tune the previous owner had installed and then checked for any codes. The pulley tune was installed and the only code present was p1000.
The truck has a MAC intake, high flow headers, high flow cats, high flow catback exhaust, and an upgraded lower pulley that I am aware of.
Will the truck pass the readiness part of the emissions test with the pulley tune installed once a complete drive cycle has been performed?
It seems silly for me to try to revert the vehicle back to stock tune and thus a stock state to pass the emissions test. With the stock tune and the current mods it seems my vehicle will throw SES codes like crazy thusly not passing emissions without reverting most parts to stock (don't have stock parts).
Please tell me I do not have to try to bring my truck back to stock to pass the OBDII emissions readiness test.

You may have to. If he turned off the rear O2 sensors because of the headers, it will never be ready.

As far as I know the rear O2 sensors are installed and operational.
