I realize this is a Lexus forum...but help with this issue would be very much appreciated.

My husband has a 2001 Ford F150 with a 5.46 V8. His mechanic cannot get it to clear two of the error codes to enable him to get an emissions sticker. The error codes are for the evap system and the catalytic converter. The mechanic says that the truck does not have a problem because it tests fine, and the check engine light is NOT coming on. My husband replaced the battery in Oct of 05 and according to the owners manual, changing a battery will cause the on-board dianostics system to reset to a "not ready for test" He has followed the driving procedure for readiness for testing and retested the truck, but the error codes still won't clear.

Does anyone have any other suggestions...or things to try to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

With the limited information provided, take it to Ford. It's their computers setting the check condiction.

 

Agreed, I'd bring it to the dealer to have it reset.
