Model-specific notes
EVAP often remains the last incomplete monitor
That pattern is common across many OBD-II vehicles, including some Escapes, because EVAP tests can require a fuel-level window and specific temperatures. It is not proof of a leaking tank on every Escape.
Inspection context is local
Some jurisdictions allow a limited number of incomplete monitors; others are stricter. Confirm the current rule with the state agency. This site does not publish a universal pass/fail claim.
What to check
- 1
Scan for additional DTCs that could block EVAP, catalyst, or O2 monitors.
- 2
Note fuel level and whether a cold start is part of the remaining test.
- 3
Avoid repeated disconnects or code clears while preparing for inspection.
FAQ
It depends on the jurisdiction, vehicle year, and which monitors are incomplete. Check the inspecting authority’s current readiness rules.
