1 Page 1 of 7 SUBJECT : OBD II DRIVE CYCLE DATE: May, 2003 No: MODEL: models CIRCULATE TO: [ ] GENERAL MANAGER [ ] PARTS MANAGER [X] TECHNICIAN [X] SERVICE ADVISOR [X] SERVICE MANAGER [X] WARRANTY PROCESSOR [ ] SALES MANAGER PURPOSE This bulletin supercedes TSB , to update the OBD II drive cycle procedures. New information is indicated by. Since January 2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that vehicles must have all OBD II Readiness Codes complete at the time of an I/M test ( smog check ). States with I/M programs are not required to use OBD II inspection, and can use tailpipe inspections, but EPA encourages using OBD II. Some states have less stringent air quality requirements or localized programs. Many states already have OBD II I/M programs in place, and more are added every year. Refer to the web site to identify states that currently have an OBD II I/M program in place. During the OBD II drive cycle, the OBD II system checks each emission control system by monitoring it for proper operation. It is necessary to run the OBD II drive cycle: To confirm that a fuel related or emission related diagnostic trouble code (DTC) repair was successful. If the vehicle s I/M test results indicate that the OBD II Readiness Monitors are incomplete. Instructions in this bulletin describe how to drive the vehicle to complete the oxygen sensor monitor, EGR monitor, catalyst monitor, Evaporative Emission Control purge flow monitor, and Evaporative Emission Control (Strict) System Leak (EVAP) monitor. All of these monitors except the Strict Evap must be completed on the first drive cycle. After that, when each monitor is completed on the next drive cycle, the scan tool Readiness Test screen will display the monitor as complete ( CMP ). If none of the OBD II monitors show Complete, the technician may want to choose Increased Sensitivity mode on the scan tool and follow the drive cycles for completing Readiness. This will help to confirm that all monitors will run and Complete during one drive cycle. The Increased Sensitivity mode is for testing purposes only, and will erase all Readiness when exiting from this mode or turning the ignition to OFF. This bulletin contains: OBD II drive cycle procedures for affected vehicles only (Refer to the appropriate service manual for 1998 and later model OBD II drive cycle procedures.) Warranty claim information for OBD II drive cycle on all affected vehicles. NOTE: On V6 models, after all Readiness codes are complete, turning the ignition off will cause all the Readiness status readings to show incomplete ( INCMP ). This may require that an I/M test be performed before the ignition key is turned off, or the technician can complete all but the catalyst monitor before returning the vehicle to the customer for I/M testing. AFFECTED VEHICLES Montero, Montero Sport, Diamante, Truck, 3000GT, Mirage, Galant, Expo/Expo LRV, and Eclipse models (except 2.0L non turbo 420A engine models) (Refer to TSB for reprogramming to retain OBD II Readiness Codes on 420A models.) FILE UNDER: Group 13 Fuel in the Dealer Service Information Binder (2579)

2 Page 2 of 7 Questions regarding OBD II Readiness codes and drive cycles should be directed to Tech Line at PROCEDURE ( AFFECTED VEHICLES ONLY) For 1998 and later models, refer to Group 13 in the appropriate service manual, under OBD II Drive Cycle. CAUTION This procedure requires two people in the vehicle during the drive cycle. One person must drive within the drive cycle parameters while the other person reads the scan tool (MUT II or MUT III). IMPORTANT: In order to carry out the OBD II drive cycle, the ambient temperature must be higher than 10 degrees C (14 degrees F), and all electrical components must be turned off. The following instructions describe how to drive the vehicle to complete the oxygen sensor monitor, EGR monitor, catalyst monitor, Evaporative Emission Control purge flow monitor, and Evaporative Emission Control (Strict) System Leak (EVAP) monitor. All of these monitors except the Strict Evap must be completed on the first drive cycle. After that, when each monitor is completed on the next drive cycle, the scan tool Readiness Test screen will display the monitor as complete ( CMP ). Refer to the chart on page 7 to determine the vehicle s type of evaporative emission control monitor. On vehicles with purge flow evaporative emission control monitor, the purge flow monitor must be completed first during the first and second drive cycles. On vehicles with strict evaporative emission control monitor, the strict evap monitor should be completed first after the first drive cycle is completed because it requires a cold start. If all of these monitors (Readiness Tests) are incomplete ( INCMP ) on the scan tool status screen before you begin the drive cycle, the scan tool will not indicate any change in their status during the first drive cycle. If any of the monitors are already complete, then all of the monitors have been completed at least once. Before you begin the drive cycle, check the scan tool Readiness Test status screen frequently while driving. Watch for the status to change to complete ( CMP ). 1. With the ignition switch off, connect the scan tool. Check for any DTCs. If any are present, note the DTC(s), then clear all DTCs from the PCM memory. 2. Turn the ignition on, and observe the Readiness Test status on the scan tool by following the scan tool selection sequence below:

3 Page 3 of 7 3. Evaporative Emission Control Monitor The Readiness Test status is displayed on the scan tool. Perform those Readiness Tests (Monitors) which are incomplete ( INCMP ). NOTE: On the first drive cycle, perform all monitor drive cycles within the same key cycle. (Do not turn the engine off and back on between drive cycles.) IMPORTANT: Refer to the chart on page 7 to identify the type of evaporative emission control monitor used on the vehicle. Use the appropriate evaporative emission control monitor (Strict Evap or Purge Flow). a. Strict Evap Leak Monitor This monitor must be completed after the first drive cycle is completed, and within 16 minutes after initial engine start up. This monitor is controlled by a timer in the PCM, which enables the monitor to run for only 16 minutes. The following conditions must be met for this monitor: Engine coolant temperature 30 degrees C (86 degrees F) or less (COLD START) Ambient temperature 5 30 degrees C (41 86 degrees F) A/T select lever in D range, with Overdrive switch ON Fuel tank 30 50% full is recommended After initial start up, immediately begin driving on level ground (no hills) at approximately 55 mph. Do not rapidly accelerate or decelerate. Do not turn corners or change lanes. If fuel sloshing occurs, this monitor must be restarted. b. Purge Flow Monitor If this procedure is started just after the other monitors are completed, stop the vehicle and allow to idle for 5 minutes at the conditions listed below. If this procedure is started with the ignition key turned to OFF, start the engine and wait for the coolant temperature to reach over 180 degrees F. Then drive the vehicle at more than 20 mph for 120 seconds. Then stop the vehicle and allow to idle for 5 minutes at the conditions listed below. Vehicle conditions must be: Shift lever in Park or Neutral No electrical load (A/C, fan and all accessories are off. ) Do not apply brake pedal. Steering wheel is at center. Scan tool readings must be: IAC valve position stable between 10 and 30 steps. Closed loop TPS approximately 0.5 (idle switch is ON) Engine coolant temperature greater than 170 degrees F
