Anyone ever reset a check engine light and have to wait for codes to kick in?

I've driven 100 miles and the damn codes haven't kicked in. I need them to for car inspection. I've been driving around in circles to put mileage on the car

Yes i had to do this TWICE before smog. After i get my light reset i thought it was 200 miles i had to drive.

frustrating. I'm up to 120 miles but want to wait to see if the local mechanic can check the codes when I hit 250---I don't trust this. I've heard that guys have driven 450 miles and the code hasn't reset. I'm just hoping. These cops love to make people's lives miserable

autozone has some scan tools can read the codes write it down then give it to your mechanic
