I'm having the same problem but I have a 2000 Honda Civic, but I was told "every time you reset the computer you have to drive it again". I have drove the car over 150 miles and it still won't pass inspection. PLEASE HELP!! If anyone has any suggestions please email me at ******** ( personal email deleted by Fr Chuck)

The check engine light is not on and will not complete inspection. After all the time and miles I have drove it, it still hasn't completely self checked through driving cycles. It still comes up incomplete

Read this post on how engine computers decide when they're "ready" for testing. This article explains drive cycles and readiness monitors
