Driving Pattern
- Connect a scan tool to the vehicle.
- Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on.
- Drive at a speed between 25 - 55 mph (40 - 88 km/h) for at least 5 minutes.
- Then, drive at a steady speed between 15 - 75 mph (24 - 120 km/h) for at least 15 minutes, and watch the long term fuel trim. If the long term fuel trim stays at about 1.0, the vehicle is OK or it is a very minor problem. If a significant fault is still present, the long term fuel trim will move up or down while driving.
- When freeze frame data is stored, drive the vehicle under those conditions instead of Driving Pattern 4.
- If the EVAP monitor runs instead of the HO2S monitor, turn the engine off, then restart it, and the HO2S monitor will restart.
- After clearing the DTC by disconnecting the battery or using the scan tool, extend Driving Pattern 3 to 40 minutes or longer to allow time for long term fuel trim to recover.
- Drive the vehicle in this manner only if the traffic regulations and ambient conditions allow.
