RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MIL, DTC, CONSULT AND DRIVING PATTERNS FOR "MISFIRE" , "FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM"

EXPLANATION FOR DRIVING PATTERNS FOR "MISFIRE ", "FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM"




(Driving pattern A)

(Driving pattern B)

Driving pattern B means the vehicle operation as follows:
All components and systems should be monitored at least once by the OBD system.
- The B counter will reset when the malfunction is detected twice regardless of the driving pattern.
- The B counter will count the number of times driving pattern B is satisfied without the malfunction.
- The DTC will not be displayed after the B counter reaches 80.

(Driving pattern C)
Driving pattern C means the vehicle operation as follows:
(1) Driving pattern A should be satisfied.
(2) 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 value: 30%, Engine coolant temperature: 80°C (176°F)
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 > 70°C (158°F)

- The C counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected regardless of (1), (2). (*1 in "OBD SYSTEM OPERATION CHART")
- The C counter will be counted up when (1), (2) are satisfied without the same malfunction.
- The MIL will go off when the C counter reaches 3. (*2 in "OBD SYSTEM OPERATION CHART")
