OBD Not Communicating for emmisions

Hi all, I did search and saw various posts regarding OBD emissions testing, but nothing that addressed my specific issue. I do have a Vishnu V5 installed on an otherwise stock car, and this is for MA emissions.

When the OBD was connected it failed to make a connection/communication. It did not get far enough to give any status on readiness or anything else. Is this something that could be caused by the V5 being installed, I guess I expected it to atleast get to the point of passing or not.

I remember back when I first got the car and registered in CA the tech saying something to the effect that 335's gave them a hard time establishing a connection. I hasn't been tested since then, 2010.

I am going to atleast remove the proceed, and drive enough to hopefully set readiness, but not sure that will solve the issue of it not communicating in the first place.

Alos I did reset my TPMS prior to going over, not sure if that would be an issue, but it shouldn't prohibit communication.

Thanks in advance.

... and if you have any autoclearing features turned on for codes they must be turned off.. once you have done that you need to drive around for a few days until all your monitors are satisfied.. check that you have no failing monitors and go in for inspection.. if you are catless and don't have a dp fix you will not pass

2nd, you need to put the car on Map 0 and drive around for awhile as the car needs to go through a couple of drive cycles before readiness is achieved.

I'm going to pull the whole unit just to be safe. I was concerned that it wasn't connecting at all. It appears that not being in map zero would cause this, so I'll just play it safe an go back 100% stock, if it doesn't talk then I know I have a problem.

Here is the drive cycle, you can get readiness if you follow it with about 40 minutes of driving.
