Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
 
                        - 
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
 
                        - 
Turn the power switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
 
                        - 
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
 
                        - 
With power switch on (IG) and wait for 2 minutes or more.
HINT: 
                           If the vehicle has returned to normal, it can be driven after turning the power switch on (READY). 
                         
                        -
