We took the car to air care and it was rejected because after work was done, the monitors were not reset yet. I was told to drive it around more and that it would reset automatically. He also said sometimes there are "tricks" you can do to quickly reset these monitors. The monitors that were not set were for the catalyst and EGR. There were no troubled codes.

"drive it around more" is the solution. This allows the ECU to "learn" and store the operating conditions for emissions. 100km/ 60 miles is usually enough.

Some monitors in the computer may need 500 miles of different driving styles and speeds before they are happy and many "start from cold" driving cycles.
