Default DEQ unreadies

Just got my 2003 Vette out of storage, the battery was dead, recharged without a problem. Then went to Oregon DEQ to update registration but was told due to erased memory multiple sensors were unready for diagnostic check. I was told to drive it and restart multiple times. The Tech had no idea how far or long to drive. Don't want to go back and sit in line and be told "unready" again, Any advice? Thanks.

Seems like there's been a bunch of these issues lately. Guess it's the winter storage thing. Of course, down here in south east Texas, if it ain't pouring down rain, I'm driving the vette.

That's exactly what happened, my "garage queen" has come out on the first dry day we've had in the Northwest this year. Beautiful 75º, blue sky, great day to cruise, sure is fun, like driving a new car compared to my GMC pickup.
