OBD- II DRIVE CYCLE

All kinds of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) can be monitored by carrying out a short drive according to the
following six drive cycle pattern. In other words, doing such a drive regenerates any kind of trouble which
involves illuminating the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (SERVICE ENGINE SOON or Check Engine Lamp) and
verifies the repair procedure has eliminated [the trouble the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (SERVICE ENGINE
SOON or Check Engine Lamp) is no longer illuminated].

CAUTION

Two technicians should always be in the vehicle when carrying out a test.
NOTE: Check that the diagnosis trouble code (DTC) is not output before driving the OBD-II drive cycle. Erase
the DTC if it has been output.

Drive cycle
pattern

This monitor [from start to ignition switch "LOCK" (OFF) position] will be completed while
driving the vehicle with the following drive cycle pattern. It will take 8 minutes. You must
complete this drive twice.
NOTE: Vehicle speed and throttle opening angle should be within the shaded range.

Inspection
conditions

• Engine coolant temperature: 45°C (113°F) or less (The engine is stopped before the test

drive is started)

• Atmospheric temperature: 5 − 45°C (41 − 113°F)

• Condition of A/T: Selector lever D range
