How long until the P1000 DTC code goes away. This code is the one that states the computer is not done checking the system... i need to get rid of this damn code to pass emissions and it wont go away. Tried deleting it for the emissions test and it didn't work the OBD-II Tester said the computer was not ready to be tested. Ive driven my car what seems like 50+ miles and it is still there.

Drive Cycle Recommendations

1. Most OBDII monitors will complete more readily using a "steady foot" driving style during cruise or acceleration modes. Operating the throttle in a "smooth" fashion will minimize the time required for monitor completion.
2. Fuel tank level should be between 1/2 and 3/4 fill with 3/4 fill being the most desirable.
3. The Evaporative Monitor can only operate during the first 30 minutes of engine operation. When executing the procedure for this monitor, stay in part throttle mode and drive in a smooth fashion to minimize "fuel slosh".
