    If you have no codes that is a good thing. It shows that your car is in proper working order. Did someone tell you differently ?

    The car needs to be driven to set all the computer monitors. Once they're all set, and no MIL, you should be golden for inspection.
    Usually 2 days of driving or 50 miles.

    Kitch hit the nail on the head.
    You actually got the inspection but they cannot issue you a passing grade till the monitors have finished updating.
    Keep driving, keep driving...
