You may have to drive it some if you haven't for a while and get the needed drive cycles in. Or you may have real problems setting the codes.
Sometimes this could be a sign that your battery is getting weak, have it "load" tested to be sure, new or old, could be a issue that needs to be addressed first.

I meant heated 02 sensors. It has been driven. 25 miles , 50 miles, 100 miles. Still the same. No check engine light came on. AND no codes to erase and start all over again. I took it to Chevrolet dealer for the problem. Same result. NO codes. Even their high dollar scan machine show the same as my hand -held scan tool. NO CODES to reset. They are puzzled also. They ran it through Chevy recommended procedure. Same results. I simply don't know what to do. It has been trouble free for 11 years.

I don't know enough about HP tuners and other chevy ecu tuning software, but is it possible someone disabled emissions on the ecu and you need to have the ECU unmodded or reflagged with factory firmware.

Trying to look at this logically, there are no errors indicated by any of the OBD systems as checked by both you and the dealer. In your sentence you, you used "emission test" in the singular. That leads me to believe the emission tester may be at fault. I would consider taking it to another tester.

I have an HP tuner but it has never been opened. My son got it for my birthday 2 years ago. I just bought the complete deal from cow. We'll get thing fixed with his tune. After talking to him I have complete confidence in him. Smart guy. Thanks for your help.
