Catalytic Converter Monitor and Readiness Code: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Acura TL and 2009 Acura TL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  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 complete.
  4. If the readiness code is still not set to complete, check for a Pending DTC with the HDS. If there is no DTC, one or more of the enable criteria were probably not met; repeat the procedure.
