                  HINT: 
                  After repair has been completed, clear the DTCs and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

                        - 
Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
 
                        - 
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
 
                        - 
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
 
                        - 
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
 
                        - 
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
 
                        - 
Wait for 1 minute or more with the vehicle stopped, the ignition switch to ON (READY), park (P) selected and the air conditioning system on (Lo/COOL MAX, blower speed HI).
 
                        - 
Turn the air conditioning system off and wait for 10 seconds or more with the ignition switch ON (READY).
 
                        - 
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Utility / All Readiness.
 
                        - 
Check the DTC judgment result.

                                 - 
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
 
                                 - 
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
 
                                 - 
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE, perform driving pattern again.
