Sounds like you just reset the PCM? (either manually, or battery went dead, replaced battery , etc..)

It's pointless to reset the ecm/pcm ... cause that resets ALL readiness tests....
I'm emissions legal
and I did 5 cold starts (to operating temp), several warm starts (let car run for a few minutes on starting... to switch to closed loop) and about 25 miles or so driving .... only had 1 readiness test not complete (evap)
