How long do you have to wait for the car to be safe for inspection?

To clear the monitors and have them reset the car must go through at least four drive cycles but sometimes it can set before. That means the car must be driven hot for five miles and shut off and let cool, and then do that again three more times and you should be all set. Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
