DRIVING PATTERN A

Driving pattern A means a trip satisfying the following conditions.

Engine speed reaches 400 rpm or more.
Engine coolant temperature rises by 20В°C (36В°F) or more after starting the engine.
Engine coolant temperature reaches 70В°C (158В°F) or more.
The ignition switch is turned from ON to OFF.

NOTE:

When the same malfunction is detected regardless of driving conditions, reset the counter of driving pattern A.
When the above conditions are satisfied without detecting the same malfunction, reset the counter of driving pattern A.

Calculated load value: (Calculated load value in the freeze frame data) x (1В±0.1) [%] Engine coolant temperature condition:

When the freeze frame data shows lower than 70В°C (158В°F), engine coolant temperature should be lower than 70В°C (158В°F).
When the freeze frame data shows higher than or equal to 70В°C (158В°F), engine coolant temperature should be higher than or equal to 70В°C (158В°F).

NOTE:

When the same malfunction is detected regardless of the above vehicle conditions, reset the counter of driving pattern C.
When the above conditions are satisfied without detecting the same malfunction, reset the counter of driving pattern C.
The 1st trip DTC will be cleared when C counter is counted once without the same malfunction after DTC is stored in ECM.
