Driving pattern B means the vehicle operation as follows:
*1: When the same malfunction is de-
tected in two consecutive trips, MIL
will light up. *2: MIL will go off after vehicle is driven 3
times (pattern B) without any mal-
functions. *3: When the same malfunction is de-
tected in two consecutive trips, 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
vehicle is driven 80 times (pattern C)
without the same malfunction. (The
DTC and the freeze frame data still
remain in ECM.) *5: When a malfunction is detected for
the 1st time, the 1st trip DTC and the
1st trip freeze frame data will be
stored in ECM. *6: The 1st trip DTC and the 1st trip
freeze frame data will be cleared at
the moment OK is detected.
*7: When the same malfunction is de- tected in the 2nd trip, the 1st trip
freeze frame data will be cleared. *8: 1st trip DTC will
be cleared when ve-
hicle is driven once (pattern C) with-
out the same malfunction after DTC
is stored in ECM.

All components and systems should be monitored at least once by the OBD system.
 The B counter will be cleared when the malfunction is
detected once regardless of the driving pattern.
 The B counter will be counted up when driving pattern B is satisfied without any malfunction.
 The MIL will go off when the B counter reaches 3. (*2 in “OBD SYSTEM OPERATION CHART”)

Driving pattern C means the vehicle operation as follows:
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:
 When the freeze frame data shows lower than 70 °C (158 °F), T should be lower than 70 °C (158 °F).
 When the freeze frame data shows higher than or equal to 70 °C (158 °F), T should be higher than or equal to
70 °C (158 °F).
Example:
If the stored freeze frame data is as follows:
Engine speed: 850 rpm, Calculated load val ue: 30%, Engine coolant temperature: 80°C (176 °F)
To be satisfied with driving pattern C, the v ehicle should run under the following conditions:
Engine speed: 475 - 1,225 rpm, Calculated load value: 27 - 33%, Engine coolant temperature: more than 70°C
(158 °F)
 The C counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected regardless of vehicle conditions above.
 The C counter will be counted up when vehicle conditions above is satisfied without the same malfunction.
 The DTC will not be displayed after C counter reaches 80.
 The 1st trip DTC will be cleared when C counter is counted once without the same malfunction after DTC is
stored in ECM.

tion is detected regardless of (1) - (4).
 The A counter will be counted up when (1) - (4) are satisfied without the same malfunction.
 The DTC will not be displayed after the A counter reaches 40 (*2 in OBD SYSTEM OPERATION CHART).
