Drive Cycle

PROCEDURE
For the troubleshooting, there are five driving patterns of drive cycles A to E. Driving in the specified pattern allows to diagnose malfunctioning items listed below. After the repair of the following trouble items, be sure to drive the vehicle with the specified drive patterns to check whether the function is resumed correctly.

1. PREPARATION FOR DRIVE CYCLE
1. Check that the battery voltage is 12 V or more and fuel remains approx. half [20 - 40 L (5.3 - 10.6 US gal, 4.4 - 8.8 Imp gal)].
2. After performing the diagnostics and clearing the memory, check for any remaining unresolved trouble data. Clearing Trouble Codes
3. Disconnect the test mode connectors.

NOTE:
- Perform the diagnosis after warming up the engine except when the engine coolant temperature at starting is specified.
- Perform the diagnosis twice if the DTC marked with *. After completing the first diagnosis, stop the engine and perform second diagnosis in same condition.

P0125 - P2103:




2. DRIVE CYCLE A (AFTER RUNNING 20 MINUTES AT 80 KM/H (50 MPH), IDLE THE ENGINE FOR 1 MINUTE.)

P0126 - P2103:




3. DRIVE CYCLE B (TEN MINUTES IDLING)

NOTE: Drive the vehicle at 10 km/h (6 MPH) or more before diagnosis.




P0026 - P2103:




4. DRIVE CYCLE C (DRIVE ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING DRIVE PATTERN)

5. DRIVE CYCLE D

- DRIFT DIAGNOSIS
1. Make sure that the engine coolant temperature at engine starting is less than 30 degrees C (86 degrees F).
2. Make sure that fuel remains 9.6 L or more (2.5 US gal, 2.1 Imp gal) and the battery voltage is 10.9 V or more.
3. Make sure that the engine coolant temperature rises for more than 10 degrees C (50 degrees F) from the level of engine starting and is also above 75 degrees C (167 degrees F).
4. Idle the engine for more than 120 seconds in the condition of step 3.

- STUCK DIAGNOSIS
1. Make sure that the battery voltage is more than 10.9 V.
2. Perform the Clear Memory Mode. Clearing Trouble Codes

O181:




3. Drive the vehicle for the distance equal to the fuel of 50 L (13.2 US gal, 11 Imp gal).

NOTE:
- It is acceptable to drive the vehicle intermittently.
- Do not disconnect the battery terminals while diagnosing. (Data will be cleared by disconnecting the battery terminals.)

6. DRIVE CYCLE E
1. Make sure that the battery voltage is more than 10.9 V.
2. Perform the Clear Memory Mode. Clearing Trouble Codes

P0461:




3. Drive the vehicle for the distance equal to the fuel of 30 L (7.9 US gal, 6.6 Imp gal).

NOTE:
- It is acceptable to drive the vehicle intermittently.
- Do not disconnect the battery terminals while diagnosing. (Data will be cleared by disconnecting the battery terminals.)

7. DRIVE CYCLE F
1. Check that the engine coolant temperature at engine start is 30 degrees C (86 degrees F) or less.
2. Warm up the engine until the engine coolant temperature exceeds 95 degrees C (203 degrees F) from engine start.

P0111:




3. After the engine has reached the state of procedure 2), idle the engine for more than 10 minutes.

NOTE: Do not disconnect the battery terminals while diagnosing. (Data will be cleared when disconnecting the battery
