DEQ Failure V70-XC70 1998

OK, I went to have my V70 DEQ'd in order to get new Oregon tags and they used the OBDII plug and it showed up as a failure. They asked me if I had the battery disconnected recently which I did because of repairing my ABS Module. Everything showed ready except the emissions readings. Are there any tricks to get this portion reset so the OBDII plug will read the emissions properly? My check engine light is off and since I reconnected the battery I've driven 150 miles. The car has 130,000 miles to it's name.
Thanks is advance,

There is a specific "emissions reset" procedure that your dealer can tell you about... Start the car, drive to 60mph for 30 minutes, stop and idle for 5, then back to 60 for 30.

Had the same thing in Oregon with my xcv70, I got temp tags for a month or two and got it to pass. On volvospeed.com there is a search where you can look for the specific requirements to get it to pass. I had a hard time to do that because t ois wuite specific. Make sure that you run it with the air on and off for some ot the time.
It will pass, it just takes some fussing...plus it is worth not shelling out 300-400 bucks at a dealer for them to run it for a day and do the same things.
