HO2S Monitor and Readiness Code: Procedure
- Connect the scan tool to the vehicle's data link connector (DLC), and bring up the tool's generic OBD II mode.
- Start the engine.
- Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions with short periods of steady cruise. During the drive, decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) for 5 seconds. After about 3.5 miles (2.2 km), the readiness code should switch from incomplete to complete.
- If the readiness code is still set to incomplete, check for a temporary DTC. If there is no DTC, the enable criteria was probably not met; repeat the procedure.
