Drive Pattern
Connect the Diagnostic Tester to the DLC3 connector to check monitor
status preconditions.
a) If IAT (Intake Air) is less than 10C (50F) when starting the engine,
idle the engine for approximately 10 minutes.
b) Drive vehicle at 43 56 mph (70 90 km/h) for a period of 3 5
minutes.
NOTE
Do not allow the Throttle Position (TP) to exceed 30%.
Drive with smooth throttle operation and avoid sudden
acceleration.
c) Stop vehicle and let engine idle for 3 5 minutes
d) Repeat steps "b" and "c" once
Observe status of Readiness Tests monitors. If readiness status does not
switch to complete, go to the Non-Continuous Tests screen to see
monitor status. If Non-Continuous Tests screen still shows Pass, ensure
preconditions are met, turn ignition OFF, and then repeat steps "b"
through "d".

mph (72km/h) for approximately 5 minutes.
2b)Drive vehicle at approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) for about 15
minutes and include a minimum of two stops for approximately 30
seconds.

Cold Soak Procedure has been completed
Before starting the engine, the difference between ECT (Coolant
Temperature) and IAT (Intake Air) must be less than 7C (13F)
NOTE
2002 and later MY vehicles the readiness test can be completed
in cold ambient conditions (less than 4.4C (40F) and/or high
altitudes (more than 7800 feet (2400m)) if the drive pattern is
repeated a second time after cycling the ignition OFF.
Drive Pattern Procedure
Connect the Diagnostic Tester to the DLC3 to check monitor status
and preconditions.
Release pressure in the fuel tank by removing and then reinstalling
the fuel tank cap.
2a) Start the engine and allow it to idle until ECT (Coolant Temperature)
is 75C (167F) or greater.
1b)Allow the engine to idle with the A/C ON (to create a slight load) for
15 minutes.
NOTE
If vehicle is not equipped with A/C put a slight load on the
engine by:
1) Securely set the parking brake.
2) Block the drive wheels with wheel chocks.
3) Allow vehicle to idle in drive for 15 minutes.
Observe status of Readiness Tests monitors. If readiness status does
not switch to complete, go to the Non-Continuous Tests screen to see
monitor status. If Non-Continuous Tests screen still shows Pass, ensure
preconditions are met by turning the ignition OFF; then, allow vehicle to
idle as directed in step 1b for an additional 35 minutes.
