How do I complete a drive cycle so I can pass my smog check

What is your question?

My battery recently died so it reset the computer in my car. I was told I need to complete a drive cycle for my car so that I can pass the emissions test. Each car is unique in the drive cycle and how to do it. Does anyone know how to complete one for a 2001 Toyota Prius?

Read this article: https://repairpal.com/Drive-Cycle-Issues Beyond that, one major common issue is improper fuel level. You must typically have between 1/4 - 3/4 tank of fuel to complete testing. Also, I would advise that you should plan on steady highway driving at about 55-60 mph for 15 minutes at least as one major needed factor.
