Code cleared, OBD says not emmissions ready

[Bad Brian]

My 98 OBS was essentially dead. I had a code P0102 regarding low input on the MAF sensor. I picked up 2 used sensors and the car is fine with either of the "newer" sensors in. I cleared the code but my OBD scanner has only gone from red to yellow regarding being emissions ready. I have 3 monitor symbols blinking down from 5. I still have EV, 2A and either OH or O, I forgot which and the scanner is in the car which is outside in a snowstorm at the moment. How long before they straighten out or will the car get thru emissions with the monitors still blinking? The car is due for testing in Connecticut next month.

Figure about 1-2 tanks of gas. Subarus are a bit lazy being emissions ready.

96 legos are never emissions ready. everytime you turn the car off it resets something and so it never shows ready. but the good news is they, 96s, get a pass on readiness. the inspectors should know about them. or at least be able to look it up.

I thought only 1995 had the wierdness they had to work around. Those two links should answer your question.

95s probably had the same wierdness, but they were not required to be tested in the same way. 96 was the OBD2 year and the start of 'whatever' testing, i think.
