Default failed emissions after battery dies
So back in like September my battery died and now I can't pass emissions until the computer resests, but no one knows how many miles that will take. Does anyone have an answer for me or another way around this?

Nope, no check engine light, just a service light, because I'm due for an oil change.

It is failing because of the "readiness monitors"
