Did you do this yourself?
I have the SCT 4-bank Eliminator chip installed to the computer. All I had to do was bring my car back to my dyno-tuner guy and he updated my chip so that I would be able to pass.

In your case.. I would send AmericanMuscle.com an email about your situation. They have tuner techs that work there and would know what u need to do and or buy to get your computers IM readiness monitors turned back on.

Thanks, that is exactly what I did and they have been very helpful so far. Hopefully this gets the job done.

I know... Every dealership Iv ever worked never checked it....Thats why I said what I said. As long as you dont have a CEL, they wouldnt give it a second thought. When your only paid .3 of an hour to do it, most just make sure the lights work.
