Readiness results for mass sticker
You must complete what is called an OBD2 drive cycle test, be patient.
Testimonial: "Thanks. I do have an exhaust leak. Would that cause the problems?"
Yes it can.
Did you have codes before you cleared the CEL light?
Yes I did. # or 4 codes. The only one I remember is P0341. Another code had to do with low coolant. I have a crack in the top rear of the radiator and also a couple of exhaust leaks. I did the drive cycle this morning but it didn't work.
I see the scenario, you disconnected the battery because the check engine light was on, that does not work on cars built after 1996, the system will read not ready until the drive cycle is complete, and the drive cycle will not complete until the codes you have are detected and turn the check engine light back on. As far as the P0341 goes that is a problem in the Camshaft Position Sensor or the wiring to it or the Powertrain control module.
Good luck.
No, I never disconnected the battery. The check engine light shuts off on its own but the not ready for the EGR, 02 sensor heater, catalyst, evap stays on
You need the dealer and very special test gear to short this out.
Thanks for all your help.
No problem.

Check all the fuses if the fuse is blown that gives power to the computer while the key is off the computer can loose it memory. On some cars for some unknown reason when the car is off the computer losses the readiness test results. The only thing you can do is drive the car around for at least ½ hour then take it to the inspection station and have the test run but DO NOT shut the engine off. A dead or disconnected battery will also clear the readiness results. The bummer is there is no bulletproof fix.
