I did this on my 2004 Toyota Highlander and it worked like a charm. Catalyst Monitor kept being not ready for almost 2 weeks. Drove all the way from LA to San Diego and back, still failed. Did 6 drive cycles of going at 55MPH on the freeway for 10 minutes, still failed. Did this trick literally one time and it passed in the first attempt. Thanks!!

Magic trick!! Thank you so much!! I was desperate to make CAT ready for my 2001 camry to pass smog check, as I have spent many hours of on highway driving and put more than 500 miles without luck. This trick fixes the issue in just 10 minutes!! One note is that the 3000 rpm needs to be kept running for 4 mins to make my CAT ready. The BEST advice on the internet. Thank you so much again!!!

It worked! Three mechanics gave me the wrong advice. So... I watched this video, bought a $22 code reader, and then drove to a bank parking lot. I put the car in neutral and revved the engine to 3000-RPM and held it there for 3 minutes exactly. I shut the car off and did the odb2 scan again. Catalyst = READY! Went back to the smog center and passed! (2008 Mercedes E350 with 110k miles) -- THANK YOU~

It worked for my 2004 Toyota Highlander I/M readiness monitors were all checked off but catalytic still incomplete. After a Drive cycle was 150 miles in 2 days it seemed hopeless. So I started the engine to let it warm to normal temperature then reved it to 3000rpms for three mins. Let off the accelerator and scanned it again while idling. Cat monitor was READY Thanks for the video bro, it was really helpful 👍👍

Gave it one last try this morning on a cold start, kept the car in parked, stepped on the gas and held it steady at 3000 rpm for a little over 3min. Rescanned the car and the cat and evap drive cycles were cleared. Thank youuuuuuuuu! Very helpful vid. You saved me from thinking of replacing the catylitic converter.

Thanks for the video, here's my story. I have a 1999 Mazda B2500, and had gotten my renewal notice 2 months prior. Hadn't gotten it smogged yet, and early on the morning of the 5th of July it was stolen off the street in front of my house. Didn't think I'd see it again, but it was recovered almost a month later. They broke the clockspring when they busted the ignition, so I had to order and wait for the new one. I had to disconnect the negative cable to do the installation, there by making the drive cycles necessary. They had stolen my plates as well, and didn't want to be driving 300 miles in SoCal freeways without plates. Less than 2 weeks left to get renewal done. I took it on a local 2 lane road for about 10 miles. That left only the evap and cat to finish. I tried the method in this video but cat still didn't finish, so I took it out on the same local road and drove it in 4th gear (it's a manual) at around 50 mph keeping an engine RPM of 3500. The cat cleared in about four minutes. Just passed smog this morning.

I had a number of issues this year to get my 2001 Camry smogged. After some repairs to old hosts, cleaning EGR valve, etc, everything checked out except the catalytic drive cycle. Went back to the smog shop numerous times after 300-500 miles and kept being told "you need to drive it some more". Finally, the smog technician told me to look up Toyota's drive cycle to see what I may be missing. Ran that twice late in the evening hoping not to tick off any freeway drivers wondering why I was only doing 55mph and trying to maintain 35-45 on the trip back on a smaller road for both cycles. NONE OF IT WORKED. Came home, started looking and saw this video and after letting the car sit overnight, starting her up and letting her warm up, 3 mins at 3k rpm and the monitor went from INC to OK. THANK YOU for this tidbit of into! Now to get the car smogged!

After following your instructions, it became ready, but this was after a second attempt. I was planning on driving several more hundred miles before seeing your video. It was so pleasing and rewarding to see that the CATALYST monitor turn from red to green on the scanner, just having it idle at 3000 rpm's for 3 minutes, after the engine warmed up, without driving an inch!!! By the way, the car is a 2000 Lexus ES300, with over 198,000 miles. Again, thank you so much for the video. God bless.

Notes: 1. Make sure to do this in a well ventilated area, definitely not in an enclosed garage. 2. Start vehicle from cold and let idle for 7 mins (keep an eye on the temperature). 3. Press foot pedal until 3,000 rpm and let idle for 3 mins. Update one year later: I couldn’t clear the catalyst after trying everything and wasting so much gas. I just gave up and after 6 months of driving occasionally (wfh), I got it checked again and the cat was cleared. I had felt it wasn’t gonna happen so maybe try that if you are stuck. I paid the renewal fee but was driving around with an expired sticker luckily nothing happened to me 😂

I have a 2000 Yukon. This worked for me. What I did, was drive the truck in 2nd gear (number 2 on the dash) at 45 mph. This gear and speed was perfect for achieving a consistent 3000 rpm. I have a Bluetooth ODBII connected to my phone, so I literally watched the Catalyst Monitor go into 'ready' state as I was driving. It was around 10 mins of in town driving, which I had several stops in between. The reason why I drove until of doing it in my driveway is because my exhaust is fairly loud and I didn't want to disturb my neighbors. I just made a trip to get lunch a productive one, and it worked!

Each car has a different routine its looking for, like drive at 30MPH for 30 min, do certain full stop exercises, idle for 5 min. Each car has different drive cycles. The computer is basically seeing that you are driving your car regularly. My mechanic told me to drive my car on the freeway for 100 miles. That didn't work and was a waste of gas and time.

I was in the business for 20 years, but I've never heard of this trick. I can tell you how it probably works. At the air filter, your vehicle is sucking in 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, and about 1% "other" like Carbon Dioxide, (Al Gore's favorite gas,) Helium etc. The ideal exhaust ends up as 78% Nitrogen, 16% Carbon Dioxide, 5% Water Vapor, 1% "other," and NO pollutants - HC, CO or NOX. One common misconception is the idea that if your exhaust has low pollutants, then everything is fine. The CAT monitor is not based on pollutants coming out the pipe, it's based on how well the CAT stores, and uses Oxygen, in the catalyzation process. This process is cyclic in nature, similar to the way an Oxygen sensor sends high / low signals to the ECM. First the CAT stores Oxygen, then releases it as needed, then stores and releases again. So the ECM monitor is looking for NO Oxygen at the rear, after the CAT, Oxygen sensor. This lack of Oxygen tells the ECM that the CAT is storing and using the Oxygen properly, and the monitor is completed. With this in mind, what probably happens when you raise the engine to a stationary high RPM, versus driving on the road, is you are putting your GOOD RUNNING engine in a state with a minimum of unused Oxygen in the exhaust. Any exhaust pipe leaks, before, but especially after the CAT, and before the rear Oxygen sensor, will doom the CAT monitor. An exhaust leak after the rear Oxygen sensor, will not affect this CAT monitor. Raising the RPM increases the exhaust pressure, which makes it more difficult for ambient Oxygen to leak into the exhaust pipe. So this added pressure, which masks the problem of exhaust pipe leaks, is a major key in this trick, in my opinion. This no load, high RPM condition, probably creates the lowest exhaust Oxygen possible, at the rear Oxygen sensor.

Just wanted to say thanks. Although these exact steps didn’t work for me on a 2003 Toyota Camry, but I knew where you were going with this. On the Toyota Camry, there is a button on the transmission stalk to turn on/off the “Over-Drive” system. Once I turn that OFF and drove it on the freeway, the Catalytic Monitor went to Ready. Basically, I needed to get to a higher RPM (above 3k) on the freeway for an extended period of time and that monitor will clear. When the over-drive is ON, it would always hover around 2k, this doesn’t make the catalytic converter hot enough and so the computer will never say it is ready. So if you have a vehicle with this type of over-drive transmission, turn it off and go for a freeway drive and in 10 minutes of freeway driving it will clear. I guess if I had to do it again I could have done this same procedure longer and it might work, so instead of 3 minute just let it rev up to 3k RPM for longer.

You hit the nail on the head. You have to get catalytic converters hot and when you turned off the overdrive you made the engine work harder and it produced more heat. I didn’t recommend turning off the overdrive as 3k rpm on certain vehicles like Chevrolets, bigger v6 and v8 motors will be destroyed as those motors lose oil pressure. Thank you again for sharing.

My catalys monitor would not come up and say okay after having work done on my truck because they disconnected the battery. I had been driving my truck with a bad misfire for several months because I couldn’t afford the replacement of the intake manifold. After finally getting it replaced I drove the truck for over a week and no luck with the catalys monitor. Then tonight I used a product called Cataclean. I Followed the directions and low and behold the cat monitor says ok! Omg I’m so relieved. I did try revving the engine to 3000 rpm three days ago after initially watching this video but it didn’t work for me. Anyway.. I just wanted to mention using the Cataclean in case anyone needs another method to try. Thank you for sharing your vid I’m sure you’ve helped many people.

Awesome thanks for sharing, I have 2 videos about cataclean. In the future as your catalyst ages even more, cataclean will even become useless for you so when that happens check out my video on how to buy direct connect catalysts for about the price of 5 bottles of cataclean. Thanks for sharing.

@@RANDOMFIX okay I definitely will. Any chance you could post that link on here for me? You’re probably right, I’m sure my cats will need to be replaced at some point. I never got a code for them, just a slow monitor. But I drove for several months with a bad misfire and sometimes two cylinders were missing due to water getting in the plug wells. I’d remove the coils and clean them out from time to time but my check engine light would flash sometimes. So they’re probably not in great shape. Again thank you for making the vid and sharing.

Yo, came back to this video to say you’re a life saver, I was able to get all my monitors to read besides catalyst, even drove the vehicle for 3 minutes around town keeping rpm’s at 3k and it didn’t work, I figured I’d just pull over and try what you said cuz why not what do I have to lose? And guess what? It worked 😂 on my 17 370z

Thank you for the great feedback and your success with your 2017 370z. It worked on the side of road because your vehicles catalyst was warm already. I appreciate you posting this your experience.
