  1. Verify all accessory loads (A/C, headlights, blower fan, rear window defroster) are off.
  2. Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS. (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE .)
  3. Verify that all of the following PIDs are within the following specifications. All PIDs must be within specifications from Step 5 to Step 6.
    • BARO: more than 72.3 kPa {542 mmHg, 21.4 inHg} 
    • IAT: 5-35 °C {41-95 °F} 
    • FLI: 15-85% 
  4. With the vehicle stopped, race the engine at the engine speed indicated, and then drive the vehicle as shown in the graph. The driving conditions before driving at constant speed are not specified. If possible, monitor RPM PID for engine speed during this procedure.

    *1 : Decelerate for approx. 10 s  by engine braking only white driving with engine speed 2, 500 RPM or more  .

    *2 : Shift to 5th gear until reaching 40 km/h {25 mph}  , and then continue to accelerate while in 5th gear. If the variable valve timing monitor is not completed, accelerate the vehicle speed and verify again that the variable valve timing monitor is completed.

    *3 : If the variable valve timing monitor is not completed, accelerate the vehicle speed and verify again that the variable valve timing monitor is completed.

  5. Switch the ignition to off.
  6. Access the ON BOARD SYSTEM READINESS to verify the OBD monitoring status.
    • If completed, all of the OBD monitoring status items change from non-completed to completed.
    • If not completed, switch the ignition to off, then perform the applicable specific drive mode for any monitoring item that was not in the detection condition.
  7. Access the DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS to verify the monitor results.
    • If detected values are not within specification, repair has not been completed.
