OBD - System Operational Charts

OBD System Operation Chart:




RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MIL, DTC, CONSULT and DRIVING PATTERNS
*1: When the same malfunction is detected twice, MIL will automatically light up.
*2: MIL will go off automatically after 3 drivings (pattern B: except for "Misfire", "Fuel Injection System", pattern C: for "Misfire", "Fuel Injection System") without any malfunctions.
*3: When a malfunction is detected for the first time, 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 40 drivings (pattern A) without the same malfunction.
The DTC and the freeze frame data will not be displayed any longer after 80 drivings (pattern B) without the same malfunction.
(The DTC and the freeze frame data still remain in ECM.)
*5 Other screen except DATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG) cannot display the malfunction.
*6: DATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG) can display the malfunction at the moment it is detected.
*7: The malfunction can not be displayed because the timing to set DATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG) screen was missed against the NG detection.
*8: The DTC and the freeze frame data will not be displayed any longer after 40 drivings (pattern A) without the same malfunction.
The DTC and the freeze frame data will not be displayed any longer after 80 drivings (pattern B) without the same malfunction.
(The DTC and the freeze frame data still remain in ECM.)

Explanation For Driving Patterns Chart:




EXPLANATION OF DRIVING PATTERNS
Driving Pattern A (Except for "Misfire", "Fuel Injection System")
^ The A counter will be counted up when (1) - (4) are satisfied without the malfunction.
^ The A counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected regardless of (1) - (4).
^ The DTC will not be displayed any longer after the A counter becomes 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 counted up when the driving pattern B is satisfied without the malfunction.
^ The B counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected twice regardless of the driving pattern.
^ The MIL will go off when the B counter becomes 3. (Except for "Misfire", "Fuel Injection System".)
^ The DTC will not be displayed any longer after the B counter becomes 80. (For "Misfire", "Fuel Injection System".)
Driving pattern C (For "Misfire", "Fuel Injection System".)
Driving Pattern C means the vehicle operation as follows:
(1) Driving pattern A should be satisfied.
(2) The following condition should be satisfied:
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: T > or = 70°C (158°F), T < 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 > or = 70°C (158°F)
^ The C counter will be counted up when (1), (2) are satisfied without the malfunction.
^ The C counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected regardless of (1), (2).
^ The MIL will go off when the C counter becomes 3.
