Emission test said OBD not ready on your 1998 Ford Explorer and you need to do a drive cycle What are the parameters for a 'drive cycle'?
I found the following when I Googled "Ford Drive Cycle" I am going to try it as my engine light is on my '02 Ford Explorer and it did not pass AZ inspection:
**** Everything below came from a Google Searched article *****
I wanted to post this on here because a Ford technician was nice enough to give me this information. Here is what needs to be done to load all the parameters in your computer so your vehicle will pass inspection after your check engine light problem has been fixed. This will work for all explorers 1996 and up. Here is what you do. This will save you from having to drive 3 or 4 hundred miles to load the computer.....
1. The gas has to be between 1/4 and 3/4 full. Not above or below.
2. Start the vehicle and put it in drive and hold the brake.
3. Turn on the air conditioner and the rear defroster.
4. Sit in drive for 2 minutes.
5. Turn off AC and rear defroster.
6. Drive the vehicle up to 55 mph.
7. Decellerate down to 20 MPH, do not touch the gas or the brake.
8. You must do this 3 times and let the vehicle get cold between cycles.
I did this today and my vehicle passed inspection. I hope this helps others that need to get their rigs inspected and dont want to drive around for a couple hundred miles.....

What does the pcm do during a drive cycle to test emission related components?
During a drive cycle, the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) monitors various sensors to ensure the vehicle's emission-related components are functioning correctly. It performs checks such as monitoring oxygen sensors, catalytic converter efficiency, EGR valve operation, and EVAP system integrity. The PCM uses this data to run tests and determine if the vehicle is meeting emission standards.
Why wont car pass emission mechanic and emission tech suggest driving car more because you recently jumped off another car?
Your car has to perform a drive cycle in order for the self diagnostics to complete it's test. If your car had a dead battery recently or the battery was disconnected recently it won't pass emissions until it has performed a drive cycle.

What are the tests for jeep drive cycle?
The Jeep drive cycle tests typically include a series of driving conditions designed to monitor the vehicle’s emission control systems and ensure they are functioning properly. These tests often involve specific sequences of acceleration, deceleration, idling, and steady-speed driving over a set distance or time. Common parameters include reaching certain speeds, maintaining idle, and executing stops, often under varying temperature conditions. Completing the drive cycle helps the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system reset or verify readiness for emissions testing.
