I went through a similar ordeal a few years ago with my '04 Miata after not driving it for a few weeks - the battery died and all the sensors went back to "not ready". I don't know if it helps, but here's the "generic" VW drive cycle (I couldn't find anything specific to the GTI or 2.0T). Also worries me about future issues.Īnybody else experience anything like this? Pretty frustrated here as I just bought the car and my temp plates run out early next week, so need it to pass inspection. To my knowledge (after calling the major tune companies this morning) the vehicle was never tuned. They stated they have never seen this issue of the monitors not resetting and would likely have to get VW Corporate involved. When they retested them, different monitors came back with not ready status than the original 3. They tried to reset the monitors and could not get them to ready. Took the car to a VW dealer this morning and they couldn't diagnose the issue and want to further diagnose the problem. I have NOT disconnected the battery during this time and have done plenty of driving including running through some steps on the Drive Cycle. In my case, I purchased the vehicle (used, 2017) less than 2 months ago.

Usually this happens after the battery has been disconnected and the monitors need to reset themselves during a Drive Cycle. It did not pass inspection because 3 of the OBD Monitor Sensors were not ready for testing. So I'm trying to get my GTI inspected and plates put on in PA after purchasing the car in MD.
