EXPLANATION FOR DRIVING PATTERNS FOR ªMISFIRE <EXHAUST QUALITY
DETERIORATION>º, ªFUEL INJECTION SYSTEMº
NBEC0033S04<Driving Pattern B>NBEC0033S0401Driving pattern B means the vehicle operation as follows:
All components and systems should be monitored at least once by the OBD system.
IThe B counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected once regardless of the driving pattern.
IThe B counter will be counted up when driving pattern B is satisfied without any malfunction.
IThe MIL will go off when the B counter reaches 3. (*2 in ªOBD SYSTEM OPERATION CHARTº)
<Driving Pattern C>NBEC0033S0402Driving pattern C means the vehicle operation as follows:
1) The following conditions should be satisfied at the same time:
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:
IWhen the freeze frame data shows lower than 70ÉC (158ÉF), ªTº should be lower than 70ÉC (158ÉF).
IWhen the freeze frame data shows higher than or equal to 70ÉC (158ÉF), ªTº should be higher than or
equal to 70ÉC (158ÉF).
Example:
If the stored freeze frame data is as follows:
Engine speed: 850 rpm, Calculated load value: 30%, Engine coolant temperature: 80ÉC (176ÉF)
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: more than 70ÉC
(158ÉF)
IThe C counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected regardless of (1).
IThe C counter will be counted up when (1) is satisfied without the same malfunction.
IThe DTC will not be displayed after C counter reaches 80.
IThe 1st trip DTC will be cleared when C counter is counted once without the same malfunction after DTC
is stored in ECM.
