RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MIL, DTC, 1ST TRIP DTC AND DRIVING PATTERNS FOR “MISFIRE
” <EXHAUST QUALITY DETERIORATION>, “FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM”

*1: When the same malfunction is

detected in two consecutive trips,
MIL will light up.

*2: MIL will go off after vehicle is driven

3 times (pattern B) without any mal-
functions.

*3: When the same malfunction is

detected in two consecutive trips, the
DTC and the freeze frame data will
be stored in ECM.

*4: The DTC and the freeze frame data

will not be displayed any longer after
vehicle is driven 80 times (pattern C)
without the same malfunction. (The
DTC and the freeze frame data still
remain in ECM.)

*5: When a malfunction is detected for

the first time, the 1st trip DTC and
the 1st trip freeze frame data will be
stored in ECM.

*6: The 1st trip DTC and the 1st trip

freeze frame data will be cleared at
the moment OK is detected.

*7: When the same malfunction is

detected in the 2nd trip, the 1st trip
freeze frame data will be cleared.

*8: 1st trip DTC will be cleared when

vehicle is driven once (pattern C)
without the same malfunction after
DTC is stored in ECM.

EXPLANATION FOR DRIVING PATTERNS FOR “MISFIRE <EXHAUST QUALITY DETERIORA-
TION>”, “FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM”
<Driving Pattern B>

Driving pattern B means the vehicle operation as follows:
All components and systems should be monitored at least once by the OBD system.

●

The B counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected once regardless of the driving pattern.

●

The B counter will be counted up when driving pattern B is satisfied without any malfunction.

●

The MIL will go off when the B counter reaches 3. (*2 in “OBD SYSTEM OPERATION CHART”)

<Driving Pattern C>

Driving pattern C means the vehicle operation as follows:
The following conditions should be satisfied at the same time:
Engine speed: (Engine speed in the freeze frame data)

±

375 rpm

Calculated load value: (Calculated load value in the freeze frame data) x (1

±

0.1) [%]

Engine coolant temperature (T) condition:

●

When the freeze frame data shows lower than 70

°

C (158

°

F), T should be lower than 70

°

C (158

°

F).

●

When the freeze frame data shows higher than or equal to 70

°

C (158

°

F), “T” should be higher than or

equal to 70

°

C (158

°

F).

Example:
If the stored freeze frame data is as follows:
Engine speed: 850 rpm, Calculated load value: 30%, Engine coolant temperature: 80

°

C (176

°

F)

To be satisfied with driving pattern C, the vehicle should run under the following conditions:
Engine speed: 475 - 1,225 rpm, Calculated load value: 27 - 33%, Engine coolant temperature: more than 70

°

C

(158

°

F)

●

The C counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected regardless of vehicle conditions above.

●

The C counter will be counted up when vehicle conditions above is satisfied without the same malfunction.

●

The DTC will not be displayed after C counter reaches 80.

●

The 1st trip DTC will be cleared when C counter is counted once without the same malfunction after DTC
is stored in ECM.

<Driving Pattern A>

●

The A counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected regardless of (1) - (4).

●

The A counter will be counted up when (1) - (4) are satisfied without the same malfunction.

●

The DTC will not be displayed after the A counter reaches 40.

<Driving Pattern B>

Driving pattern B means the vehicle operation as follows:
All components and systems should be monitored at least once by the OBD system.

●

The B counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected once regardless of the driving pattern.

●

The B counter will be counted up when driving pattern B is satisfied without any malfunctions.

●

The MIL will go off when the B counter reaches 3 (*2 in “OBD SYSTEM OPERATION CHART”).
