You're correct. The good codes... The "Readiness Flags" need to be reset.
These Readiness Flags indicate that certain emissions systems which the OBD
II computer has been monitoring have PASSED the test, indicating that those
systems are working properly.
Your Saturn SL1 will fail the smog inspection if the proper "Readiness
Flags" are not set.
The "repair" in this case involves ensuring the check engine light is not
on, and the smog machine is detecting the readiness flag are set. This
involves driving your Saturn through 2 or 3 "drive cycles" in order to set
the proper "flags". Drive cycles vary. It usually requires around 100 miles
and 1 to 2 weeks worth of driving.
