I have a 2006 XC90 and live in California. Couple months ago, I reset the stored codes not realizing that I needed to smog the car, and I hadn't driven it much since. Yesterday, I drove the car for about 50 miles to see if I can get the monitors ready for smog. I followed the impossible drive sequences for a bit, but then gave up and started driving then stopping every few miles, idling for couple minutes, turning off the engine, then starting up again and repeating the process. I believe I got all the needed monitors to turn on, but would like more assurances before taking it for a smog check.
See below images for the result and let me know if you think I have all the monitors that I need to pass smog on. I am specifically wondering about the EGR system monitor.
Thanks. Summary Details

Your engine does not have an EGR system, or a secondary air system, or a heated catalyst - your car only has to complete the 7 monitors that have already passed.
