Evap Sensor Not Ready: Drive Cycles for Ready?

The last thing I need before I can get the R57 to pass inspection.
Evap is still showing not ready.

Anyone know the drive cycle requirements to get it into ready status?

I've done 5 drive cycles & about 18 miles since codes reset. Google seems to vary between 4-5 minutes at 40mph, light load to over 15-20 minutes of light load cruise.

I'm limited in that the car isn't registered, and cannot be until it has a passing inspection, so I've been keeping it within the bounds of my neighborhood as much as I can to try to get enough drive cycles to get the Evap 'Ready'

Will try it again tomorrow night when traffic's light.

The Evap monitor is always the
hardest for me to complete after
clearing a code. It usually takes
many attempted drive cycles.
I know I can pass inspection with
just one sensor incomplete, but
it still bugs me and I’d rather not
have the technician bug me about
what’s causing the incomplete
evap sensor.
I’ve found that I can test the evap
pump cycle with my Launch x431
ProS Mini scan tool and after several
minutes it’s done and it also completes
the evap I/M readiness monitor
without having to do any more
drive cycles.

Took about 60 miles over the course of 6 cycles total to get the evap to ready.
Passed insp this afternoon, luckily!
