- Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 rpm without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on.
- Drive the vehicle at 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for at least 30 minutes.
- Check the engine oil dilution with a scan tool. If it stays at a specific condition (the HDS parameter [ENGINE OIL DILUTION INFLUENCED RATE] is not 0 (no unit)), drive the vehicle additionally at 25 mph (40 km/h) or more.
- Drive the vehicle at a speed between 25 - 55 mph (40 - 88 km/h) for at least 5 minutes.
- 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 8 seconds.
- If the EVAP monitor runs instead of the HO2S monitor, turn the engine off, then restart it, and the HO2S monitor will restart.
- Drive the vehicle in this manner only if the traffic regulations and ambient conditions allow.
