Obd Ii Drive Cycle

What is the proper drive cycle for a 2010 Mazda 3? My battery died and I'm trying to get an e-check, but I keep being told that the OBD II is not ready. Just driving around isn't getting the job done and I've been told that there are specific criteria that must be performed to reset the system.
