Mode 2 Procedure
NOTE: For the Mode 2 driving procedure, it is best to use a stopwatch for accurate timing of the drive cycle.
CAUTION: Strict observance of posted speed limits and attention to driving conditions are mandatory when proceeding through the following drive cycle.
NOTE: Observing the diagnostic monitors while performing this mode will verify when the mode is complete, as the monitors will clear. If Mode 2 is performed properly and the monitors do not clear, either Mode 1 was not successfully completed or a concern exists with the vehicle.

- with transmission in DRIVE, accelerate the vehicle to approximately 88 kph ± 13 kph (55 mph ± 8 mph) and maintain that speed for 1 minute.
- For manual transmission: with transmission in 5th gear, accelerate the vehicle to approximately 87 kph ± 8 kph (54 mph ± 5 mph) and maintain that speed for 1 minute.
8. After the stopwatch has passed the 1 minute mark, slow the vehicle to a stop and let the vehicle idle in PARK (A/T) or NEUTRAL (M/T) for more than 1 minute. At this point the oxygen sensor heater system monitor and the EGR system monitor should be cleared.
