EVAP Monitors
DRIVE PATTERN NO. 5: EVAP Monitor (Internal Pressure Monitor/Non-Intrusive Type)
Cold Soak Preconditions
The monitor will not run unless:
^ MIL is OFF.
^ Fuel level is between 1/2 to 3/4 full *for faster completion.*
^ Altitude is 7800 feet (2400 m) or less.
IMPORTANT:
A cold soak must be performed prior to conducting the drive pattern to complete the Internal Pressure Readiness Monitor.
Cold Soak Procedure
1a. Start the engine and allow ECT (Coolant Temp) to reach 176°F (80°C) or greater. (This can be done by letting the engine idle or by driving the vehicle.)
1b. Let the vehicle cold soak for 8 hours or until the difference between IAT (Intake Air) and ECT (Coolant Temp) is less than 13°F (7°C).
^ Example 1
^ ECT (Coolant Temp) = 75°F (24°C).
^ IAT (Intake Air) = 60°F (16°C).
^ Difference between ECT (Coolant Temp) and IAT (Intake Air) is 15°F (8°C).
--> The monitor will not run because the difference between ECT (Coolant Temp) and AT (Intake Air) is greater than 13°F (7°C).
^ Example 2
^ ECT (Coolant Temp) = 70°F (21 °C).
^ IAT (Intake Air) = 68°F (20°C).
^ Difference between ECT (Coolant Temp) and IAT (Intake Air) is 2°F (1°C).
--> The monitor will run because the difference between ECT (Coolant Temp) and IAT (Intake Air) is less than 13°F (7°C).
Drive Pattern Preconditions
The monitor will not run unless:
^ MIL is OFF.
^ Fuel level is between 1/2 to 3/4 full for *faster completion.*
^ Altitude is 7800 feet (2400 m) or less.
^ ECT (Coolant Temp) is between 40°F and 95°F (4.4°C - 35°C).
^ IAT (Intake Air) is between 40°F and 95°F (4.4°C - 35°C).
^ Cold Soak Procedure has been completed.
NOTE:
Before starting the engine, the difference between ECT (Coolant Temp) and IAT (Intake Air) must be less than 13°F (70°C). (Refer to Examples 1 and 2.)
Drive Pattern Procedure
^ Connect the OBDII Scantool to DLC3 to check monitor status and preconditions.
^ Release the pressure in the fuel tank by removing and then reinstalling the fuel tank cap.
^ Start the engine and begin driving as directed.
NOTE:
^ Do not turn the ignition off until the drive pattern is complete.
^ Drive on smooth roads to reduce excessive fuel sloshing.
2a. Start the engine and as soon as safely possible begin driving at approximately 45 mph (72km/h) for 5 minutes. (Refer to the illustration.)
2b. Drive the vehicle at approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) for 15 minutes and include a minimum of two stops for approximately 30 seconds. (Refer to the illustration.)
The monitor should complete within approximately 20 minutes. It it does not, ensure preconditions are met and repeat the drive pattern process beginning with the Cold Soak Procedure.
NOTE:
The readiness status may not switch to "complete" after the first drive pattern trip if a Pending Code has been set (first trip for a two-trip DTC).
^ Pending Codes are available from the DTC Info Menu in Enhanced OBDII.
^ Pending Codes indicate a POTENTIAL problem was detected. A second trip is needed to confirm the DTC prior to diagnosis.
^ Once a second trip is completed, a current DTC will be stored.
DRIVE PATTERN NO. 6: EVAP Monitor (Vacuum Pressure Monitor/Intrusive Type)
