This confirmation driving pattern is used in the "PERFORM CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN" procedure of the following diagnostic troubleshooting procedure.
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch ON.
- Turn the tester ON.
- Clear DTCs (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).
- Start the engine, and warm it up until the ECT reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher.
- On the intelligent tester, select the following menu items to check the fuel-cut status: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / USER DATA / FC IDL.
- Drive the vehicle at between 60 km/h (38 mph) and 120 km/h (75 mph) for at least 10 minutes.
- Change the transmission to 2nd gear.
- Drive the vehicle at proper vehicle speed to perform fuel-cut operation.
HINT:
Fuel-cut is performed when the following conditions are met:
- Accelerator pedal fully released.
- Engine speed is 2,500 rpm or more (fuel injection returns at 1,000 rpm).
- Accelerate the vehicle to 64 km/h (40 mph) or more by depressing the accelerator pedal for at least 10 seconds.
- Soon after performing step (j) above, release the accelerator pedal for at least 4 seconds without depressing the brake pedal, in order to execute fuel-cut control.
- Allow the vehicle to decelerate until the vehicle speed declines to less than 10 km/h (6 mph).
- Repeat steps from (h) through (k) above at least 3 times in one driving cycle.

Completion of all A/F sensor monitors is required to change the value in TEST RESULT.
