When using the HDS

  1. Connect the HDS to the vehicle's data link connector (DLC), and bring up the READINESS CODES screen for Catalyst in the DTCs MENU.
  2. Start the engine.
  3. Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions with short periods of steady cruise. After about 5 miles (8 km), the readiness code should switch to completed.
  4. If the readiness code is still not set to complete, check for a Temporary DTC with the HDS. If there is no DTC, one or more of the enable criteria were probably not met; repeat the procedure.
