THE RELATION BETWEEN DTC AND DRIVING PATTERN IN OBD-II SYSTEM
1. When the same malfunction is detected and maintained during two sequential driving cycles, the MIL will automatically illuminate.
2. The MIL will go off automatically if no fault is detected after 3 sequential driving cycles.
3. A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is recorded in ECM memory when a malfunction is detected after two sequential driving cycles. The MIL will
illuminate when the malfunction is detected on the second driving cycle.
If a misfire is detected, a DTC will be recorded, and the MIL will illuminate, immediately after a fault is first detected.
4. A diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will automatically erase from ECM memory if the same malfunction is not detected for 40 driving cycles.
NOTE:
-
A "warm-up cycle" means sufficient vehicle operation such that the coolant temperature has risen by at least 40 degrees Fahrenheit from
engine starting and reaches a minimum temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
A "driving cycle" consists of engine start-up, vehicle operation beyond the beginning of closed loop operation.
