Put in a new battery and the OBDII reader is yellow with "C" catalyst flashing. Any idea how many miles you need to drive to get from a yellow light to green. I drove 120 and it is still not ready. Thanks

The error codes are normal when you change the battery. Just clear all the codes thru the DIC and you should be fine.

No error codes it is the not ready light that is flashing yellow no DIC's. Car is still doing the system diagnostic stuff.

You need to do a number of "drive cycles" to get everything in "ready" mode. This post describes what you can do get the past this.......
