2002 Buick Century 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

well my car could'nt pass emissions so I had to get the catalytic converter fixed well I took it back the next day for another test and it rejected it from what the paper say it has incomplete codes which are the EGR, OXYHEAT, OXYGEN, CATALYST all these codes were incomplete so I was wondering what I need to do so I can pass emissions? A friemd suggested I drive the car so it would read that the converter is fixed s that true? Help me

Your best bet is to put some mile's on and learn the monitor's whenever you get a dead battery or have a bad cat sensor etc the monitors have to be reset. There is a drive cycle that requires a scanner with the correct software but I would drive it with cyling the key over 50 mile's on the freeway and around town and see if the monitor's reset. Maybe they can check to see if your monitor's set after that a auto part's store if they have a more advanced scan tool.
