You we need to do a series of drives with it letting it get hot and then allow to cool down completely to repeat for about 50 miles.

What I have read in California is that any car after 2000 need all monitors set other then the EVAP monitor. All monitors are set but the catalytic converter readiness monitor.

It says fifteen seconds I would think that is what the 15s means. Also, below it says times as well. That is from Hyundai it is really confusing actually. I just let my monitors learn natural unless it is some of the European cars I can use my scan tool to do it.

What I do to check and see how good the cat is compare the upstream o2 sensor readings to the downstream readings. See how close they readings are to each other at about 2500 rpms. They should be cleaner than the upstream and the downstream shouldn't be almost mirroring the upstream.
