C8 Computer Reset for State Emissions Test
Some "check engine" codes were recently cleared on my C8 and I now need to get my yearly safety/emissions inspection. I have seen differing info as to how the car must be driven in order to reset the computer and accumulate the required emissions data [cold starts, acceleration/deceleration, miles driven, etc.]. Does anyone have guidance or experience with the C8 computer reset? Thanks!

Based on my experience here in Mass with the OBDII checks at inspections driving daily for about a week is all you need to get it ready to pass the test. This is also the case when someone changes the battery and attempts to get an inspection right after. You won't need a thousand miles to get it ready for inspection.
