Patch: Force OBD Inspection Pass (acamus, mrfred)

So- today I flashed this and I think I've got it working correctly. I did not have success the first 2 times I tried.
I first flashed it with the 1's and 0's changed so that they only showed 0 with secondary air, heated catalyst and AC. I had 0's in these 3 spots on both tables (I changed them with the "]" and "[" buttons)
When I did this it showed 3 systems not meeting "readiness" on my obd2 scan tool. I think it was egr, cat and evap.
I went back into ecuflash and changed them to the force pass settings as told to by the rom which are E000 first, EAFF second and EAFF / 6AA7- this gives the appearance of all "1's" in the 2 tables "monitor pass/failed" and "monitor available/not available". - this did the exact same thing you had Klaiceps, I only had misfire, fuel and CCM showing ready and everything else was not available when scanned with the scan tool.
Remembering your situation I went in and changed the "E000" value to "4019" (which is stock) for the availability portion leaving the other values as I have had them. This I believe gave me the desired result.
Here is what my car looked like when I scanned it with my obd2 generic scan tool seconds after I finished the latest reflash:
Normally on this scan tool when a test is not available (such as SAS, heated cat and AC-ref) it does not light up the LCD. If you look carefully at the picture you can see these LCDs are not lighting up, but you can barely see the outline shadow.
The correct ones are lighting up solid, so I believe this means the scanner thinks the monitors are ready and kosher.
Does all this sound right or am I losing my mind?

As you can see the trick that worked for me was the "4019" up top.
The confusing thing is shown with green towards the bottom. I don't understand why it has "1" on the ac/sas and heat-cat values. When I scan it with my test-tool (above) you can clearly see that these are not available (the LCD lights are dimmed-out)
Anyways I think I am good now. I would love to help others. My test is not for a few months so I don't know for sure but I will check the status with my scanner when I drive the car. Car rarely gets driven though (only about 200 miles maybe put on it this year)

It's weird. When I was digging around for info, most people chiming in were using Evo VIII ROMs which are a bit different from the IXs. The patches worked flawlessly for them but for those with the 8859 ROMs, it was hit or miss. I had to play around with the tables a few times to get the results I needed and I found them purely by trial and error. It seems the forced inspection patch is a little buggy for the 88590015 ROMs.

I don't want to get too excited yet but I think we have it licked. I owe you because your situation came to mind when I saw I only had the fuel/miss/cca there.

The problem is its showing tests which are not normally enabled on the evo. I'm using e000 and 6ae6 and it passes but has a couple extra tests enabled . Make sure you didnt disable the rear o2 using the periphery this can cause an issue only use the patch that was posted.
