  6. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
  7. Turn the Techstream on.
  8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Monitor / Current Monitor.
  9. Check that Catalyst Efficiency / Current is Incomplete.
  10. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or higher with the shift lever in P [A].

    HINT: 

    In order to keep the idle stable, turn the A/C and all other electric loads off and do not perform any shift operations.

  11. 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.

  12. With the shift lever in M, drive the vehicle at 60 km/h (37 mph), and then decelerate the vehicle by releasing the accelerator pedal for 5 seconds or more to perform the fuel-cut [C].
    WARNING:

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

  13. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Monitor / Current Monitor / O2 Sensor / Details / SLOW RESPONSE B1S2 [D].
  14. Check the Test Value for SLOW RESPONSE B1S2.

    HINT: 

    • If Test Value displays a value larger than 0, perform the following procedure, as the O2 Sensor monitor is finished.
    • If Test Value displays 0, perform step [C] until it displays a value larger than 0, as the O2 Sensor monitor is not finished.
  15. Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds [F].
  16. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
  17. Turn the Techstream on.
  18. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or higher [G].
  19. Drive the vehicle at approximately 60 km/h (37 mph) for 10 minutes or more [H].
    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.
  20. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [I].
  21. Check if any DTCs are stored.

    HINT: 

    • If the monitor item does not change to Complete, and no DTCs are stored, perform the following procedure.
    • [A] to [I]: Normal judgment procedure.

      The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.

    • When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.
  22. Drive the vehicle at a speed between 75 and 100 km/h (47 and 62 mph) for 10 minutes or more [J].
    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.
  23. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [K].
  24. Check if any DTCs are stored.

    HINT: 

    If the monitor item does not change to Complete, and no DTCs are stored, extend the driving time.

  25. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
