  10. With the engine running, accelerate the vehicle to 65 km/h (40 mph) or more by depressing the accelerator pedal for at least 10 seconds [B].
    WARNING:

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

    HINT: 

    When accelerating the vehicle, depress the accelerator pedal more than normal to start the engine.

  11. Idle the engine for 30 seconds or more [C].
  12. With the shift lever in S and the engine running, accelerate the vehicle to 65 km/h (40 mph) or more [D].
    WARNING:

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

    HINT: 

    If the engine stops, further depress the accelerator pedal to restart the engine.

  13. Perform the fuel cut operation for 5 seconds or more, with the accelerator pedal fully released [E].
  14. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [F].
  15. Read the pending DTCs.

    HINT: 

    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
  16. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
  17. Input the DTC P0400-00, P0401-9C or P0402-9B.
  18. Check the DTC judgment result.
    Techstream Display Description
    NORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed
    • System normal
    ABNORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed
    • System abnormal
    INCOMPLETE
    • DTC judgment not completed
    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

    HINT: 

    • If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
    • If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE, perform the steps [A] through [F] again.
    • [A] to [F]: 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 auxiliary battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.
