3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the PCM. If it does not, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting
(see page 11-204).
4. Clear the DTC(s) on the HDS screen.
The OBD status shows the current system status of
each DTC and all of the parameters. This function is
used to see if the technician’s repair was successfully
completed. The results of diagnostic tests for the DTC
are displayed as:  PASSED: The on-board diagnosis is successfully completed.
 FAILED: The on-board diagnosis has finished but failed.
 NOT COMPLETED: The on-board diagnosis was running but is out of the enable conditions of the DTC. NOTE: Reset the PCM with the HDS while the engine is
stopped.
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait for 30 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
4. Do the PCM idle learn procedure (see page 11-310).
5. Start the engine with the shift lever in P or N, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the
radiator fan comes on).
6. To verify that the problem is repaired, test-drive the vehicle for several minutes at speeds over 50 km/h
(31 mph) or under the same conditions as those
indicated by the freeze data.
Make sure to follow these points while the vehicle is
raised on a lift for the test-drive.  Disable the VSA by pressing the VSA OFF switch.
 VSA DTC’s may come on when test-driving on a lift. If the VSA DTC(s) come on, clear the DTC(s) with the
