Mitsubishi Outlander XL. Manual — part 208

OBD- II DRIVE CYCLE

All kinds of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) can be
monitored by carrying out a short drive according to
the following 24 drive cycle patterns. 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].

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.

NOTE:

Drive cycle patterns are not established

for Power steering pressure sensor monitor (DTC

P0551), and Fuel level sensor monitor (DTC P0461,
P2066). Please reference the M.U.T. data list to
judge whether these monitor items are normal.
