how long does it take for all the sensors to reset

i have a 8 that needs to be inspected.
i have just reset the ecu (due to dead battery) and i was wondering how many miles would i have to drive around until all sensors are reset?
i took it into inspection earlier and gas fume sensor did not have any readings

please help thanks!

A decent half-hour cruise down the highway should be enough to do it.

From what 4RETECH told me go soft for a few miles then go a little crazy. I think you also need to drive like 100 miles?

If it's your EVAP readiness , that will most likely take 4-5 hours after being driven for at least 20 minutes. Also the gas has to be between 1/4 to 3/4, no more no less. The EVAP function is shut off when full or empty as not to burn out the EVAP pump or draw in raw gas.
