Default Sensor help

I keep taking it to the smog shop to get it done and they keep telling me the*
Heated o2
Evap
Sec air pump

These 3 keep saying they're not ready to be tested.

I've driven 80 miles since resetting the check engine light.

All help is welcome.
Thanks in advance

Are there any stored codes that might help?

Sorry. What I mean is, if they are not showing as ready, could there be a code that was thrown that did not trigger a CEL to come on?

Did you check for any codes that might provide a clue to why they are not ready?

Hope I'm making sense.

Those sensors will only set when the car is stone cold in the morning.
The temp out side needs to be in the 50's as well.
I just went thru this a couple tears ago.

What year is your car?

Also make sure the car is completely full of gas.

If you're reasonably close to Brentwood I can modify your tune so everything will show as ready without having to drive the car at all.

I won't charge you for my time but will have to charge you $100 for the HP Tuner credits and you'll be able to see all the OBD systems show as ready right on the spot.

PM me if you want and I'll send you my number.
