How does one get the catalist monitor to run. 1999
Toyota 4 Runner failed emissions for cat failure. I replaced O2 sensor
and front cat.No codes have come back,but cat monitor will not run.
All other monitors have run. One problem veh does have, fuel gauge
does'nt work reads full all the time any help would be app.

Where are you located? Does your 4Runner have a 4 cylinder or V6 engine?
The catalyst is monitored by the #2 O2 sensor circuit, which uses 2-trip
detection logic. After clearing trouble codes, the electronic control
module (ECM) has to see 2 consecutive trips without any faults from any
sensors to be in "ready" mode. There are specific parameters, like a
certain road speed, distance traveled, transmission gears used, coolant
temperature, O2 sensors warmed up, etc. that must be met for a drive cycle
to be counted by the ECM as a "trip."
The information is listed in Toyota TSB EG003-02 "Readiness Monitor Drive
Patterns (Revised).

Follow the drive pattern on Page 12 if your 4 Runner is a U.S. 49 state
model or P. 13 if it has CA emissions.
