Misfire Monitor Drive Cycle



MISFIRE MONITOR DRIVE CYCLE

1. Record flagged DTC (s) and accompanying WDS DTC Monitor freeze frame(s) data.
2. Fuel level > 25%.
3. Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature > 82 degree C (180 degree F).
4. Drive vehicle to the recorded freeze frame conditions (from step 1).
5. Repeat several times.

Notes regarding misfire monitor DTCs:
- If on the first trip, the misfire is severe enough to cause excess exhaust emission, the individual cylinder DTC plus DTC P1316 will be logged. The CHECK ENGINE MIL will not be activated. If the fault reoccurs on the second trip, the individual cylinder DTC plus DTC P1316 will be flagged, and the CHECK ENGINE MIL will be activated.
- If on the first trip, the misfire is severe enough to cause catalyst damage (more severe than excess exhaust emission), the CHECK ENGINE MIL will flash while the fault is present and the individual cylinder DTC plus DTC P1313 (bank 1), DTC P1314 (bank 2) will be logged. When the fault is no longer present the MIL will be deactivated.
- If the fault reoccurs on the second trip, the CHECK ENGINE MIL will flash while the fault is present and the individual cylinder DTC plus DTC P1313 (bank 1), DTC P1314 (bank 2) will be flagged. When the fault is no longer present the CHECK ENGINE MIL will be activated.
