OBD 'not ready' S70 1998

My S70 has been rejected 3 times by emissions for the following reason:
"OBD NOT READY".

The inspector told me that my the OBD must have been reset by my mechanic which has caused the emission systems to have a "not ready" status. He told me to drive it for 50 miles and then come back for a re-test. I followed his instructions but failed again. After that test, I drove 90 more miles and was rejected again by emissions for the same reason.

The inspector said that for certain emission systems, the status returns to "ready" only after driving the vehicle a specific way, and that this specific "drive cycle" is determined by the manufacturer. Also, the inspector said that they have had this problem before with Volvos and have not been able to get an answer from Volvo.

I would greatly appreciate it someone can tell me what the specific drive cycle is for this car, or what I should do to prepare the car for a re-test.
