2000-01 ACCENT ECM PROGRAMMING FOR READINESS CODE
DESCRIPTION:
On 2000-2001 MY Accents with 1.5L SOHC and 1.6L DOHC engines, the scan tool displays "INCOMPLETE" (under the "CARB OBD-II Diagnosis, Readiness Codes" Menu) although the ECM conducts actual monitoring for the evaporative system. This is a scan tool display error and does not affect vehicle performance or actual OBD-II functions.
This bulletin describes the procedure for updating the ECM software to correct the above condition by using the Hi-Scan Pro.
VEHICLES AFFECTED:
^ Model: 2000-2001 ACCENT vehicles with 1.5L SOHC and 1.6L DOHC engines
^ Affected vehicle production date range and VIN range shown.
