Volvo Drive Cycle
Does anyone have an official list of the conditions to complete the drive cycle? I installed a new battery yesterday and when taking my car through emissions three of the monitors are coming up as "unready" (which means they will not perform a emissions test on the car). I was told by emissions and also Volvo that I need to complete a drive cycle (which Volvo offered to do for $150). Problem is, I'm seeing many greatly varying versions of what the process entails. Thanks!

Ok, found this and it got me through emissions... in case anyone wonders:
Start with the vehicle cool, below 122 degrees F.
Turn off the air conditioning.
Select a location where the driving can be done without violating traffic laws and you can stop safely at the side of the road.
1. Start the engine and accelerate to approximately 1500-2000 rpm.
2. Drive for 6 minutes at 1500-2000 rpm.
3. Stop the vehicle and remain at idle in drive for 70 seconds.
4. Accelerate to at least 45mph and drive for 5 minutes at 1800-2200 rpm.
5. Stop the vehicle and remain at idle in drive for 60 seconds.
6. Accelerate to at least 45 mph and drive for 4 minutes at 1800-2200 rpm.
7. Stop the vehicle and remain at idle in drive for 60 seconds.
8. Park the vehicle and turn off the engine.
