Trip

TRIP
A "TRIP" is defined as a key On, Run, key Off code in which all the criteria were met for a given diagnostic test to run. During any given drive cycle; key On, Run, key Off, criteria may or may not have been met to perform all diagnostic tests. No "TRIP" will occur for a given diagnostic until the vehicle is driven in such a manner as to meet all the enable criteria. If a test is desired on a particular subsystem to determine if it "passes" or "fails" refer to the specific DTC in this manual for test parameters. The parameters are calibrated conditions the ECM requires in order to perform the test. If a test has not been run, monitor the Scan tool PASS/FAIL DTC status at the time the parameters have been met.

Warm Up Cycle
A warm-up cycle is defined as engine temperature reaching a minimum of 80°C (176°F) and arise in temperature of at least 22°C (72°F) over the course of a trip.
