Bad O2 - ECU reset procedure

My mechanic told me which O2 is bad on my 2000 Boxster. He reset the check engine light. I changed the sensor. However he said there is some sequence that you have to follow in order to reset an internal code. Otherwise the car will fail the OBDII check. I found something here: http://www.systemsc.com/codes.htm

* Monitored & Set During Three Cycles; Warm-up, Driving, & Trip
Warm-up Cycle - SAI, EVAP, (from cold start to operating temperature, 2 min. minimum)
Driving Cycle - O2 Sensors/Heating, TWC, TRIM, (2 min. idle, 5 min. drive, 2 min. idle)
Trip Cycle - Diagnosis of All ECM Systems, (2nd Driving Cycle after shut-down, 20 min. max.).

Is this correct? Anyone have any luck with this procedure? I don't understand the exact sequence.... is it:

cold start 2min idle
2 min idle
5 min drive
2 min idle
shutdown
2min idle
5 min drive
2min idle

am i right? thanks!

Car needs testing on a PST2 tester. Not always are O2 sensor faults caused by the sensor.
