Use the following procedure to check if the repair has been done correctly:
1)
Connect the scan tool to the vehicle's DLC and erase the DTC(s) from
the vehicle's computer memory.
2)
After the erase procedure is performed, status of most monitors will be
changed. Leave the scan tool connected to the vehicle, and select
Ready Test from Main Screen.
3)
Keep on driving the car till the scan tool notifies you safely with color
LEDs and audible tone that the drive cycle has been completed and the
