- When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.
Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [12/2022 - ]
- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

- Reconnect the cable to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
- Put the engine in Inspection Mode (Maintenance Mode).
- Start the engine and rev the engine for 5 seconds or more with the shift lever in P [C].
HINT:
During charge control, the engine speed is set at idle. Therefore, the engine speed will not increase when the accelerator pedal is depressed. In this case, perform step [C] after charge control has completed.
- Idle the engine for 5 minutes or more [D].
HINT:
In order to keep the idling stable, turn off the A/C and all other electric loads and do not perform any shift operations.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [E].
- Read the pending DTCs.
HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
- Input the DTC: P0505-00.
- Check the DTC judgment result.
HINT:
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system is malfunctioning.
- If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE, perform steps [F] through [J].
- [A] to [E]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
- When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the auxiliary battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.
- Press the EV/HV mode selection switch to select HV mode. (for PHEV Model)
- With the engine running, accelerate the vehicle to 10 km/h (6.25 mph) or more [F].WARNING:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
HINT:
If the engine stops, further depress the accelerator pedal to restart the engine.
- Stop the vehicle and rev the engine for 5 seconds or more with the shift lever in P [G].
HINT:
During charge control, the engine speed is set at idle. Therefore, the engine speed will not increase when the accelerator pedal is depressed. In this case, perform step [G] after charge control has completed.
- Idle the engine for 20 seconds or more [H].
- Repeat the steps [F] through [H] 10 times [I].
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [J].
- Read the pending DTCs.
HINT:
