Using the Hyundai Scanner to Activate the Self-Check

For 1997 Elantra, 1997 Tiburon, and 1997 DOHC Accent, scanners with cartridge V1.8 can be used to activate the self check anytime after the vehicle reaches operating temperature. However, the scanner will not activate the self check for 1996 and 1998 vehicles at this time.

1. Set up and run HDS as described earlier in steps 1-5.

2. Make sure the vehicle is at normal operating temperature, there are no DTC codes present (clear any codes before performing the check), and the O2 sensor is in Close Loop.

3. If all conditions are met, start the Evap Check and the scan-tool will display "Now Trying to Trigger Evap Test". A few seconds later "Waiting For Evap Test To End" is displayed.

4. Approximately 30 seconds later, the message "Evap Test Complete" will be displayed. Wait about 10-15 seconds to stop the HDS recording (continue with steps 10-12, under Connecting the Vehicle to HDS).
