I own a 1996 Chrysler Sebring LXI I went to a service station to get an Inspection sticker the check engine light was on. The inspector plugged in his computer and said it was an oxygen sensor. I brought the car back later in the week and he replaced the sensor he told me to drive it 200 or so miles to reset the compter the check engine light never came back on. I brought the car back for my inspection sticker and he plugged it to his computer and said the computer hasnt reset in my car He told me to keep driving it so this has gone on for several weeks now and 900 miles later the computer hasnt reset he gave me a print out of the OBDII Inspection Summary Scren this is how it reads.
Continuous Monitor Tests Status Non- continous monitor test Status
Misfire complete Catalyst not complete
fuel system complete Evaporative Systems not complete
comprehensive component complete oxygen sensor not complete
oxygen sensor heater complete
EGR system not complete
He says all that not complete stuff has to register complete before I get my Inspection sticker Like I said I have driven 900 + miles now with out this changing any help would be apperciated Thank You Very much....

He should printed out a drive cycle to do ,the instructions on this would say how to run the vehicle at different speeds at certain amount of time to reset the computer, I don't have that info on your car,but one of the guys here might.

Thanks Dave I'm bringing the car back on wednesday I'll ask him for this. He did tell me to drive around town and on the highway that was his only instruction. I have done everything he has suggested to me he appears stumped. Should I go to another place I'm just trying to aviod paying the dealers high costs. Currently there are no codes, no check engine light on car runs great could this possibly be a computer problem or a voltage problem I can't find any kind of voltage meter on my dash how do I test this myself ? Well thanks again for your help

I would go and have it inspected, the work he done most likely fixed the problem,plus might have jumped the gun on code clearing thing,but still there is a drive cycle precedure.Let us know if the problem dosen't clear up

Here is the procedure Dave is referring to...GOOD LUCK!!!!!
Completing the Drive Cycle successfully one (1) time should reset most drive cycle monitors to a "Ready" status. However, there are "two trip" monitors, which require that the drive cycle be successfully completed two (2) times, to achieve a "Ready" status. Furthermore, systems which use averaging, may require the drive cycle to be completed more than 2 times.
Verify the status of the readiness monitors with the appropriate function of your scan tool.
Before Beginning the Drive Cycle
Check the status of the Readiness Monitors, check for DTC's, correct faults, clear DTC's before beginning the Drive Cycle.
Begin Drive Cycle
The vehicle should be driven approximately 7.5 miles within a period of approx. 23 minutes (1372 seconds) from a cold start. However, due to manufacture variations, it is necessary to perform only as much of the Drive Cycle as is necessary to reset the required monitors to a "Ready" status. Operate the throttle smoothly to obtain best results. Do not shut the engine off during the drive cycle.
CAUTION: Obey all traffic laws and drive in a safe manner!
NOTE: Extreme driving conditioning such as very high/low temperatures, rough roads and high altitudes may prevent some monitors from attaining a "Ready" status.
Step 1 (Engine Cold) Start engine, idle 20 seconds. Accelerate gradually and drive at 20-25 mph for 1 minute, varying speed. Step 2 Accelerate gradually to 32 mph within 35 seconds. Decelerate to 0 mph in 10 seconds. Idle for 40 seconds. Step 3 Accelerate at part throttle to 25 mph in 10 seconds. Cruise at 17-25 mph for 15 seconds. Accelerate gradually to 57 mph in 45 seconds. Cruise at 50-56 mph for 1 minute. Decelerate gradually to 0 mph in 40 seconds. Idle for 15 seconds. Step 4 Accelerate at part throttle to 36 mph and maintain for 10 seconds. Decelerate to 0 mph in 15 seconds. Idle for 5 seconds. Step 5 Accelerate to 30 mph and back to 0 mph within 30 seconds. Idle for 20 seconds. Step 6 Accelerate to 36 mph in 20 seconds. Drive at 35 mph for 20 seconds. Decelerate to 0 mph in 15 seconds. Idle 5 seconds. Step 7 Accelerate gradually to 26 mph and decelerate to 0 within 40 seconds. Idle 15 seconds. Step 8 Accelerate to 27 mph in 40 seconds. Decelerate to 0 mph in 10 seconds. Idle 25 seconds. Step 9 Accelerate to 26 mph in 15 seconds, maintain speed for 10 seconds, decelerate to 0 mph in 10 seconds. Idle 15 seconds. Step 10 Accelerate to 23 mph in 20 seconds, decelerate to 0.5 mph in 10 seconds (no complete stop). Accelerate to 28 mph and back to 0 mph (momentary stop 1 second) within 35 seconds. Step 11 Accelerate gradually to 34 mph in 45 seconds. Vary speed between 34 and 19 mph for 2 minutes. Decelerate from 25 to 0 mph in 25 seconds. Idle for 5 seconds. Step 12 Accelerate to 29 mph in 15 seconds, decelerate gradually to 0 mph in 45 seconds. Idle for 30 seconds. Step 13 Accelerate gradually to 28 mph and back to 0 mph (momentary stop 1 second) within 50 seconds. Accelerate gradually to 27 mph and back to 0 mph within 55 seconds. Idle for 15 seconds. Step 14 Accelerate to 24 mph and back to 0 mph within 18 seconds. Idle for 10 seconds. Accelerate gradually to 22 mph and back to 0 mph within 50 seconds. Idle for 8 seconds. Step 15 Accelerate gradually to 30 mph within 50 seconds. Decelerate to 0 mph in 10 seconds. Idle for 25 seconds. Step 16 Accelerate to 23 mph and back to 0 mph within 30 seconds. Idle for 10 seconds. Step 17 Repeat steps 1 - 16 once again. Recheck the status of the "Readiness Monitors". NOTE: Remember, clearing DTC's or interrupting power to the ECM after the readiness monitors have been reset to "Ready" will require that the Drive Cycle be repeated.
Completing the Drive Cycle successfully one (1) time should reset most drive cycle monitors to a "Ready" status. However, there are "two trip" monitors, which require that the drive cycle be successfully completed two (2) times, to achieve a "Ready" status. Furthermore, systems which use averaging, may require the drive cycle to be completed more than 2 times. It is necessary to perform only as much of the Drive Cycle as is necessary to reset the required monitors to a "Ready" status.
End Drive Cycle

No..next to impossible (or so it seems)to accelerate gradually with the wheels off the ground...vehicle needs to be driven..
Plus with the front wheels off the ground you'll set ABS codes.....
