Hi,

I changed the battery on my corolla 1999 and followed this drive cycle

Toyota drive cycle to complete OBD readiness monitors | JUST SMOGS® + REPAIR

how to complete toyota drive cycle to complete readiness monitors and pass smog check

justsmogs.com

and only have the Evap monitor to go. My gas tank is right in the middle so should be good to go.

Question#1)
Though the article didn't say it, do I really have to wait for 8+ hours or overnight and let my car cool down completely and drive it between 45 and 70 miles for 10 inutes again?

Question#2)
Though the above article doesn't mention it, do I have to drive my car between 35-45 for seven minutes?

I'm really confused as to what I need to do to complete the last remaining evap test specifically for my corolla 1999.

Thanks

just drive....?

You seem well versed in the drive cycle parameters. For me I`d drive it on the highway for a bit and you should see it run the test

Just drive it. You shouldn't test when it's still warming up. The evap monitor takes longer to be ready.

Are you close to your deadline at this point? If not, I would test it by Wednesday of this coming week. This must not be a daily driven car.

EVAP will only run its test when you have more than 1/4 and less than 3/4 on your fuel gauge and after 6 - 8 hours.
