Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes
3UR-FBE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: READINESS MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN
1. PURPOSE OF READINESS TESTS
* The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system is designed to monitor the performance of emission related components, and indicate any detected abnormalities with DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes). Since various components need to be monitored during different driving conditions, the OBD II system is designed to run separate monitoring programs called Readiness Monitors.
* To view the status, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Monitor / Current Monitor / Current.
* When the Readiness Monitor status reads complete, the necessary conditions have been met for running the performance tests for that Readiness Monitor.
* A generic OBD II scan tool can also be used to view the Readiness Monitor status.
HINT
Many state Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs require a vehicle's Readiness Monitor status to show complete before beginning emission tests.
* The Readiness Monitor will be reset to incomplete if:
* The ECM has lost battery power or blown a fuse.
* DTCs have been cleared.
* The conditions for running the Readiness Monitor have not been met.
* If the Readiness Monitor status shows incomplete, follow the appropriate Readiness Monitor Drive Pattern to change the status to complete.
CAUTION:
Strictly observe posted speed limits, traffic laws, and road conditions when performing these drive patterns.
NOTICE:
These drive patterns represent the fastest method of satisfying all conditions necessary to achieve complete status for each specific Readiness Monitor.
In the event of a drive pattern being interrupted (possibly due to factors such as traffic conditions), the drive pattern can be resumed. In most cases, the Readiness Monitor will still achieve complete status upon completion of the drive pattern.
To ensure completion of the Readiness Monitors, avoid sudden changes in vehicle load and speed (driving up and down hills and/or sudden acceleration).
2. CATALYST MONITOR (ACTIVE AIR-FUEL RATIO CONTROL TYPE)
NOTICE:
This test will not be completed if the vehicle is driven at absolutely constant speed such as with cruise control activated.
(Note: Even if vehicle stops during driving pattern, test can be resumed)
(a) Preconditions
The monitor will not run unless:
The MIL is OFF.
(b) Drive Pattern
(1) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(3) Turn the Techstream on.
(4) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
HINT
Even if no DTCs are stored, perform the DTC clear operation to start alcohol concentration learning.
(5) Start the engine.
HINT
After clearing the DTCs, the engine may become difficult to start if the concentration of alcohol in the fuel is high. Therefore, it may be necessary to crank the engine a few times before it starts.
(6) Warm-up the engine until the engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or more [A].
(7) Drive the vehicle at 32 km/h (20 mph) or more and maintain a constant speed for 2 minutes or more [B].
(8) Make sure that the Data List "Alcohol Density Learning" is "Compl".
(9) Drive the vehicle at between 64 and 113 km/h (40 and 70 mph) and maintain a constant speed for at least 10 minutes [C].
CAUTION:
Perform this drive pattern on a level road as much as possible and strictly observe the posted speed limits and traffic laws while driving.
(c) Monitor Status
Check the Readiness Monitor status displayed on the Techstream.
If the status does not switch to complete, extend the driving time.
3. EVAP SYSTEM MONITOR (KEY OFF TYPE)
(a) Preconditions
The monitor will not run unless:
* The fuel tank is less than 90% full.
* The altitude is less than 8000 ft. (2438 m).
* The vehicle is stationary.
* The engine coolant temperature is between 4.4°C and 35°C (40°F and 95°F).
* The intake air temperature is between 4.4°C and 35°C (40°F and 95°F).
* Vehicle was driven in a city area (or on freeway) for 10 minutes or more.
(b) Monitor Conditions
(1) Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 6 hours.
HINT
Do not start the engine until checking Readiness Monitor status. If the engine is started, the step described above must be repeated.
(c) Monitor Status
(1) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(3) Turn the Techstream on.
(4) Check the Readiness Monitor status displayed on the Techstream.
* If the status does not switch to complete, restart the engine, make sure that the preconditions have been met, and then perform the Monitor Conditions again.
4. AIR-FUEL RATIO (A/F) AND HEATED OXYGEN (HO2) SENSOR MONITORS (ACTIVE AIR-FUEL RATIO CONTROL TYPE)
(a) Preconditions
The monitor will not run unless:
* 2 minutes or more have elapsed since the engine was started.
* The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is 75°C (167°F) or more.
* Cumulative driving time at a vehicle speed of 48 km/h (30 mph) or more exceeds 6 minutes.
* Air-fuel ratio feedback control is performed.
(b) Drive Pattern for front A/F sensor and HO2 sensor
(1) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(3) Turn the Techstream on.
(4) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
HINT
Even if no DTCs are stored, perform the DTC clear operation to start alcohol concentration learning.
(5) Start the engine, and warm it up until the ECT reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher [A].
HINT
After clearing the DTCs, the engine may become difficult to start if the concentration of alcohol in the fuel is high. Therefore, it may be necessary to crank the engine a few times before it starts.
(6) Drive the vehicle at 32 km/h (20 mph) or more and maintain a constant speed for 2 minutes or more [B].
HINT
Make sure that the Data List "Alcohol Density Learning" is "Compl".
(7) Drive the vehicle at between 60 km/h (40 mph) and 120 km/h (75 mph) and maintain a constant speed for at least 10 minutes [C].
CAUTION:
Perform this drive pattern on a level road as much as possible and strictly observe the posted speed limits and traffic laws while driving.
(8) Change the transmission to 2nd gear.
(9) Accelerate the vehicle to 60 km/h (40 mph) or more by depressing the accelerator pedal for at least 10 seconds [D].
(10) Soon after performing step [D] above, release the accelerator pedal for at least 5 seconds without depressing the brake pedal in order to execute fuel-cut control.
(11) Allow the vehicle to decelerate until the vehicle speed declines to less than 10 km/h (6 mph) [E].
(12) Repeat steps from [D] through [E] above at least 3 times in one driving cycle [F].
(c) Monitor Status
(1) Check the Readiness Monitor status displayed on the Techstream.
(2) If the status does not switch to complete, make sure that the preconditions have been met, and then perform steps from [A] through [F] in the Drive Pattern above.
5. AIR-FUEL RATIO (A/F) AND HEATED OXYGEN (HO2) SENSOR HEATER MONITORS (FRONT A/F AND REAR HO2 SENSOR TYPE)

(4) Clear DTCs (if set) Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
(5) Start the engine.
(6) Allow the engine to idle for 10 minutes or more.
(7) Drive the vehicle at 40 km/h (25 mph) or more for at least 2 minutes.
(c) Monitor Status
(1) Check the Readiness Monitor status displayed on the Techstream.
If the status does not switch to complete, make sure that the preconditions have been met, and repeat steps from (5) to (7) described in the Drive Pattern above.
