You have to fix the problem or it will never be ready.

I know that. theres no codes being thrown, mechanically sound. Dealer and other mechanics just keep saying drive it more. Driven over 1500 miles city highway everything.
Any creative ideas what might help?

If there are no codes being set but the monitor is still not setting, then you aren't driving under the conditions required for the monitor to run. Some monitors require very specific driving conditions in order to run. It is possible this is a common problem and there is a software update for your vehicle which loosens up the parameters, and will make the monitor run. Contact the dealer or an independant shop with J2534 compliant programmer that can update your software and see if an update is available.

The Ecu in your car is not reprogrammable.
