This continues the prior thread "Innova Code Reader first try" regarding downloading stored codes with the Innova/Equus 3100 code reader.
Vehicle: 2000 Sonata 6 cyl.
The car's computer is reporting back on all systems except two: catalytic converter and oxygen sensor. The code reader displays blinking icons "C" and "O", which mean that the monitors have not been run or completed.
I called the code reader's manufacturer this morning. The tech said that the car's computer won't give a complete result if the car has not been put through the appropriate drive cycle. He referred me to the Hyundai shop manual for a description of the drive cycle. I can't find anything about a drive cycle on the Hyundai tech web site. When I told Innova's technician that Hyundai posts the complete shop manual on their web site, his reply was, "If the drive cycle isn't in the manual, it's not a complete manual."
I need to know the drive cycle sequence for each of these monitors for my car. Where can I find this information?
This brings up another question: if the manual on the web isn't complete, will I get a better manual if I buy the printed version from the dealership? I assume that this is the same book that's marketed by Helm -- is this correct? (Actually, two books, including the electricals).
Thanks.
