computer reset

does any one anyone know what kind of driving must be done for the obd 2 to read all of the modules. My 99 4.2L needs a smog and it can't pass until the computer has done it's thing. It runs but has no tags yet so driving is a little sketchy but has to be done. Ive done it before but I can't remember the driving sequence.

I did not know, but got curious and found this:

and this:

hope it helps!
