Relationship Between MIL, 1st Trip DTC, DTC, & Detectable Items
SUMMARY CHART
Note: Check TSBs for any available updates to drive patterns.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MIL, DTC, CONSULT AND DETECTABLE ITEMS
- When a malfunction is detected for the first time, the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the ECM memory.
- When the same malfunction is detected in two consecutive trips, the MIL will come on. For details, refer to "Two Trip Detection Logic".
- The MIL will go off after the vehicle is driven 3 times with no malfunction. The drive is counted only when the recorded driving pattern is met (as stored in the ECM). If another malfunction occurs while counting, the counter will reset. The MIL will remain on until the vehicle is driven (in the recorded driving pattern) 3 times with no malfunction.
- The DTC and the freeze frame data can be displayed until the vehicle is driven 40 times (except for Misfire and Fuel Injection System). For Misfire and Fuel Injection System, the DTC and freeze frame data can be displayed until the vehicle is driven 80 times. The "TIME" IN "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS" mode of CONSULT will count in response to the number of times the vehicle is driven.
