MIL Requests and History Codes
The diagnostic executive must acknowledge when all the emissions related diagnostic tests have reported a pass or fail condition since the last ignition
cycle. Each diagnostic test is separated into 4 types:
^
Type A is emissions related and turns ON the MIL the first time the diagnostic executive reports a fault.
^
Type B is emissions related and turns ON the MIL if the fault is active for 2 consecutive driving cycles.
^
Type C is non-emissions related and does not turn ON the MIL.
When a type A diagnostic test reports a failure, the diagnostic executive immediately requests to have the MIL turn ON for that diagnostic test. When a
type B diagnostic test reports a failure during 2 consecutive trips, the diagnostic executive turns ON the MIL for that diagnostic test. The diagnostic
executive has the option of turning the MIL OFF when the diagnostic lest which caused the MIL to illuminate the passes for 3 consecutive trips. In the
case of misfire or fuel trim malfunctions, there are additional requirements as follows:
^
The load conditions must be within 10 percent of the vehicle load present when the diagnostic executive reported the failure.
^
The engine speed conditions must be within 375 RPM of the engine speed present when the diagnostic executive reported the failure.
^
The engine coolant temperature must have been in the same range present when the diagnostic executive reported the failure.
When the diagnostic executive requests the service light to be turned ON or a type C diagnostic fault is reported, a history DTC is also recorded for the
diagnostic test. The provision for clearing a history DTC for any diagnostic tests requires 40 subsequent warm-up cycles during which no diagnostic tests
have reported a fail, a battery disconnect, or a scan tool clear info command.
