OBD DRIVE MODE[ZJ, ZY, Z6]

id0102c1815800

•  Performing the Drive Mode inspects the OBD system for proper operation and must be performed to ensure that no additional DTCs are present.
•  During the Drive Mode, the following systems are inspected:
―  HO2S heater
―  HO2S
―  TWC
―  Fuel system and Misfire
Caution
•  While performing the Drive Mode, always operate the vehicle in a safe and lawful manner.
•  When the M-MDS is used to observe monitor system status while driving, be sure to have another technician with you, or record the data in the M-MDS using the PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD function and inspect later.
Note
•  Vehicle speed and engine speed detected by the PCM may differ from that indicated by the speedometer and tachometer. Use the M-MDS to monitor vehicle speed.
•  If the OBD system inspection is not completed during the Drive Mode, the following causes are considered:
―  The OBD system detected a malfunction.
―  The Drive Mode procedure was not completed correctly.
•  Disconnecting the battery will reset the memory. Do not disconnect the battery during and after the Drive Mode.
•  The M-MDS can be used at anytime through the course of the Drive Mode to monitor the completion status. Monitoring can be done by viewing the ON BOARD SYSTEM READINESS menu.
