OK so the computer is talking to the scanner. How warm was the car when you took it in? Did it sit for any time waiting to get it smogged? What this is saying is that the car was not up to temp. Now if it was up to temp then what I need you to do is ohm the coolant temp sensor when the engine is cold and get back to me with the ohms and the air temp at the time you checked it.

The PCM monitors have not completed for whatever reason, and removing a program before taking it in will do it because the keep alive memory will be reset. 100 miles of driving should have done it to complete all of the monitors unless there is a fault with a sensor or conditions not met. Perform an on demand self test to verify that there are no codes other than P1000.
