That that just means the monitor checks the ecm does for the evap system has not completed yet. It does a series of tests under various conditions to make sure everything is working properly, and since you cleared the codes the ecm has to perform all the various monitor checks again. It should change to complete in a day or so depending on how much you use the car (or fail which will cause the check engine light to come on and a code to be stored).

Got the app from the play store. Just type Torque Pro! Then u have to buy a device called " Bluetooth ELM 327" from Amazon! It's very handy and you can diagnost and clear CEL in seconds. It's all wireless

Nice. If i remember, the one that gave me the most trouble was bank 2 sensor 1? Closest to the firewall. Had to soak in PB for a few hours. Just take your time and dont throw your tools.
