Drive Cycle and DTC Table Notes
DRIVE CYCLE AND P-CODE TABLES FOR GEMS AND BOSCH ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSBoth GEMS and Bosch engine management Systems contain a series of "P-codes" which will provide information through Testbook to the technician about the stored system faults. Each of these codes is associated with a drive cycle.
NOTE: Before commencing tests, ensure that no shop manuals or service bulletins supercede any of the following instructions.
IMPORTANT: All state traffic laws must be adhered to while performing any road testing.
Drive Cycles
Each DTC now has one of six drive cycles associated with it.
A drive cycle must be performed to ensure the problem is fixed and customer satisfaction is achieved.
REMEMBER: DO NOT TURN OFF THE IGNITION AT THE END OF A DRIVE CYCLE. RECHECK FOR FAULTS WITH TESTBOOK.
