Every time you reset the codes, you need to go through an OBD II drive cycle which is typically 20-30 miles driving at different speeds and RPMs in different gears. Once you do this the monitors go from not ready state to ready.
The trouble I was having initially was that as soon as my monitors would become ready, the SES or the pending fault would come back. I think overall it took my 4-5 cycles to get rid of it. Mind you, I did the O2 relocation in October/November and my car has been in the garage most of the winter and it was driven once every few weeks.
