- Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on.
- Drive the vehicle at a speed between 22-55 mph (40-88 km/h) for at least 5 minutes.
- Then, drive immediately at a steady speed between 55-75 mph (88-120 km/h) for at least 10 seconds.
- Decelerate with the throttle valve fully closed for at least 4 seconds.
- If the EVAP monitor runs instead of the HO2S monitor, turn the engine off, the restart it, and the HO2S monitor will restart.
- Drive the vehicle in this manner only if the traffic regulations and ambient conditions allow.
