5. Turn the engine off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
6. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
7. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Monitor / Current Monitor.
8. Check that Catalyst Efficiency / Current is Incomplete.
9. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or higher [A].
10. Drive the vehicle at approximately 60 km/h (37 mph) for 10 minutes or more [B].
    WARNING:

    When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    HINT: 

    • Drive the vehicle while keeping the engine load as constant as possible.
    • The monitor item will change to Complete as the Catalyst Efficiency monitor operates [C].
11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
12. Check if any DTCs (pending DTCs) are stored.

    HINT: 

    If the monitor does not change to Complete, and no pending DTCs are stored, perform the following procedure.

13. Drive the vehicle at a speed between 75 and 100 km/h (47 and 62 mph) for 10 minutes or more [D].
    WARNING:

    When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    HINT: 

    • Drive the vehicle while keeping the engine load as constant as possible.
    • The monitor item will change to Complete as the Catalyst Efficiency monitor operates [E].
14. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
15. Check if any DTCs (pending DTCs) are stored.

    HINT: 

    If Catalyst Efficiency does not change to Complete, and no pending DTCs are stored, extend the driving time.

16. If no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [03/2012 - 07/2012] .

    HINT: 

    • If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
