You can watch the monitors drop off if you connect the car to your reader, then watch the monitors drop off as you're driving. If there are still a couple showing, then don't shut it off. Just figure out which ones haven't dropped off and run it until it does drop off. For EGR, like I said, typically steady speed 40+ with even throttle input for a bit. It should cycle the EGR during steady cruise. For evap, come to a stop in a parking lot, and let it idle for a few minutes. See if that gets it to drop off.

I have to deal with this stuff from time to time, and I have tricks for our product line that seem to work, but depending on engine management there are different tricks.
Hi there, just read what you posted as an answer regarding the ready lights for egr and evap, last year I had same issue but my job required me to drive almost 100 miles per day back and forth because I live far from work plus normal going to store so I went to get my inspection and to my surprise it did not pass due to those 2 which left me with a deer in the headlights look, anyway they told me to just drive it and I explained how much I drove it everyday so it ended up at the dealer for almost a week and they drove it and when I went to pick it up upon their request I was told that they couldn’t understand it because when they hooked it up to Chrysler’s system via laptop while driving they could see the egr setting but it wouldn’t set on the actual jeeps computer and they couldn’t understand why so I was told to just keep driving it, I asked for the upgraded ticket to where they contact Chrysler’s engineers and I was told they were going to do it and call me but as everyone knows they didn’t and since I was pressed on time and knew a guy he passed my inspection and I got my renewal then by curiosity I checked a week or two later and saw that the evap had set but not the egr but at that point I didn’t care I had my sticker, well this year I got the infamous oil cooler leak and I suffered a really bad fall in which I almost broke my knee and back and this kept me from working on it, on a good day without injury I would’ve had that done in 1 day but due to pain it took me 3 months during this time my battery died so after the almost 4 months I got it on a new battery but then my water pump and thermostat leaked so I had to replace all that too, long story short jeep is running great now took it for an alignment and I actually checked the lights before that and I was good for an inspection (STUPID ME) didn’t go get it and the alignment people messed and did a codes eras making all lights to do the same because the traction control light was on, so now I’m back to where I was a year ago but now I have a CAI and Flowmaster exhaust all but those 2 are not setting, I followed the Chrysler’s guide and nope, then I tried raising the rear and do a pretend drive in place but then the traction light came on and wouldn’t let me increase speed passed 20 mph so then I tried it on the hwy and nothing, I’ve been driving it almost everyday putting 80 miles in just one outing I just got home putting over 40 miles still nothing.

New: Spark plugs, oil cooler, knock sensors, battery (deleted the aux), radiator, water pump, thermostat, coolant bypass, trans cooler, trans oil pan, all linkage (drag link etc), CAI, exhaust- all this was replaced and are brand new NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

None... but it pays well.
Evap error is mostly from gas cap not seated. Learned from a Honda tech back in 2010 to turn till you hear 3 clicks and repeat. Haven't had a gas cap code ever since with my vehicals.
