Emission test passed w/out non-continuous monitors set 850 1997

I have a 97 850 GLT. I have been trying (for the last 3 weeks) to get the non-continuous nonitors to set so I could take it in to the emission test center here in Chicago. I stopped by the local Volvo dealer just to make sure I was following the complicated drive procedure correctly.

One of the techs did a courtesy readout of the OBD II and found the not ready conditions as expected. He checked everything else in the OBD II and reset the entire system. For kicks I went directly to the test center (3 mniles away at most) and the car passed the OBD II test!!!

I stopped back at the dealer and they were shocked. When we checked the monitors again we found none of the non-continuous monitors were set!

I am good until 2007, but this makes no sense. Perhaps Illinois has provided some unpublished exception for this car since it is known to have tough re-set issues.

I am not complaining, but it sure doesn't make sense to me. Any ideas?

Jim
