Ummm,

After a battery disconnect or repair/code reset the car may need some miles to put the DME in "ready" state. I replaced my MAF a few years ago, reset the codes and went to get a smog cert. The operator said it was not in "ready" state and could not be tested until I had logged 30-50 miles. The same is true of a car that has been stored for winter with battery removed.
