98 4door will not run OBD tests
My 98 blazer can't get plates because it will not run tests. I hooked up my TECH2 and I have no DTC, no MIL.
DTC 0
MIL requested no
Test completed
Catalyst no
Evap no
H02S/O2S yes
H02S Heater yes
EGR no
Ran through the diagnostic time schedule for I/M readiness. still didn't run test. Drove at highway speeds for an hour, still no luck. Have put on over 300 miles, still not ready. What can I do next? Totally frustrated on this one. Can the TECH2 force these to run? Thanks in advance for any input.

General Motors Driving Cycle
A complete driving cycle should perform diagnostics on all systems. A complete driving cycle can be done in under fifteen minutes.
To perform an OBDII Driving cycle do the following:
Cold Start. In order to be classified as a cold start the engine coolant temperature must be below 50°C (122°F) and within 6°C (11°F) of the ambient air temperature at startup. Do not leave the key on prior to the cold start or the heated oxygen sensor diagnostic may not run.
Idle. The engine must be run for two and a half minutes with the air conditioner on and rear defroster on. The more electrical load you can apply the better. This will test the O2 heater, Passive Air, Purge "No Flow", Misfire and if closed loop is achieved, Fuel Trim.
Accelerate. Turn off the air conditioner and all the other loads and apply half throttle until 88km/hr (55mph) is reached. During this time the Misfire, Fuel Trim, and Purge Flow diagnostics will be performed.
Hold Steady Speed. Hold a steady speed of 88km/hr (55mph) for 3 minutes. During this time the O2 response, air Intrusive, EGR, Purge, Misfire, and Fuel Trim diagnostics will be performed.
Decelerate. Let off the accelerator pedal. Do not shift, touch the brake or clutch. It is important to let the vehicle coast along gradually slowing down to 32km/hr (20 mph). During this time the EGR, Purge and Fuel Trim diagnostics will be performed.
Accelerate. Accelerate at 3/4 throttle until 88-96 km/hr (55-60mph). This will perform the same diagnostics as in step 3.
Hold Steady Speed. Hold a steady speed of 88km/hr (55mph) for five minutes. During this time, in addition to the diagnostics performed in step 4, the catalyst monitor diagnostics will be performed. If the catalyst is marginal or the battery has been disconnected, it may take 5 complete driving cycles to determine the state of the catalyst.
Decelerate. This will perform the same diagnostics as in step 5. Again, don't press the clutch or brakes or shift gears.
I've had this work, I've had it not work (once had to drive a Cavalier for 2 weeks to get it to set enough, don't get me started on stubborn 4 cylinder Chryslers) but hopefully it helps you

Thanks Nunya. Ran it through the drive cycle last night 3 times. In Chicago, trying to find open road to drive at 55-60 mph will get you run over on the Interstate, and trying to coast down to 20 is near impossible without getting a traffic light or corner. It was quite a challenge.

Any one know how to get these tests to run?
