One thing to keep in mind is that NOT all the monitors have to pass. YOu are allowed 1 or 2 failed monitors ( i forget exactly how many you can have that haven't passed).
But basically you need to go through the proper drive cycle like previously stated and try and fix whatever issues you are currently having w/ the car.
Also, just b/c the MIL isn't on, doesn't mean that there isn't a DTC.

Well before I ordered this OBD2 USB adapter (which hasn't arrived yet) I took it to AutoZone and scanned it with the cheaper one there. No codes came up. Said all was ok
It didn't scan the MIL readiness monitors, however, because it was kind of a ghetto device.
