Computer not "Ready". Scan Gauge II at fault?
 
I have a Scan Gauge II plugged into my car at all times to monitor MPG. Last week the battery was replaced, and I went through the procedure to "ready" the car (drive 1800-2200 rpm for 6 min, stop in D for 70 sec, drive 1800-2200 for 5 min, stop in D for 1 min, drive 1800-2200 rpm for 4 min, stop in D for 1 min and shut off). I did this twice, and as I was driving the scan gauge finally said "Ready, no codes". I was careful not to hit "clear" and just shut off. This morning I have "Not ready" again. What's up? How was it ready last night?

It does that all the time. It takes a few minutes to do system checks and go READY again.

I figured out if I put it in Park, its ready. If I have it in Drive and drive around its not ready. When I put it back in park its ready after a few seconds.

Rspi, how close is the stock Volvo info to the info you get from the Scan Gauge ??
I know the Scan Gauge does more but for some of the MPG features how does the stock trip meter compare ??
