Default computer not reseting, not ready for inspection

so im having an issue with my 00civic. when i take the car to the mechanic shop for inspection they hook it up to the computer and it says the car is not ready for inspection. it says that there is 4 sensors not ready. the mechanic tells me i need to drive it some more so the computer can read the sensors/monitors. this has been an ongoing problem for 4 months now. any clues ideass hints?

The computer needs constant power from the battery to save its calibration in RAM. If that circuit is lost, the car will still run but the computer will reset every time you turn the key off. Check the fuse under the hood labeled "BACK UP".

Glad that it was quick fix. As a bonus, your radio will now remember your presets too!
