MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MPI)

NOTE: If malfunctions have been detected in 
multiple systems, store one malfunction only, which 
has been detected first.

DRIVE CYCLE

The following five drive cycle patterns are performed on the diagnosis codes monitored during the vehicle 
driving. The vehicle driving requires the patterns to identify the fault. In other words, doing such a drive allows 
to regenerate any kind of trouble which involves illuminating the engine warming lamp (check engine lamp) 
and to verify the repair procedure has eliminated the trouble [the engine warming lamp (check engine lamp) is 
no longer illuminated].

CAUTION

Two technicians should always be in the vehicle when carrying out a test drive.
NOTE: Check that the diagnosis code is not output before traveling in the Drive cycle pattern. Erase the 
diagnosis code if it has been output.

Drive cycle 
pattern

One trip monitor [from start to ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position] will be completed 
while traveling with the following drive cycle pattern. It will take 16 minutes or more.

Inspection 
condition

• Atmospheric temperature: −10°C or more

Test 
procedure

1. Engine: start
2. Accelerate until the vehicle speed is 90 km/h or more.
3. Travel for 6 minutes or more while keeping the vehicle speed at 90 km/h or more.
4. Decelerate until the vehicle speed is within 80 km/h or less.
5. While traveling at 55 

− 80 km/h for 10 minutes or more, fully close the throttle at least 

once in 2 minutes and decelerate for 10 seconds or more.

• Do not repeat deceleration too often.

• Vehicle speed may go below 55 km/h after the deceleration.

• Stopping and braking are permitted. (If stopped or drive at 55 km/h or less for more 

than 5 minutes the monitoring may be stopped. In this case please restart monitoring 
from the beginning.)

6. After completing the above deceleration, bring the vehicle speed back to 55 

− 80 km/h 

and keep it in the range until starting the deceleration again.

• Repeat the above deceleration at least 5 times.

7. Return the vehicle to the shop, then turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position.

3. While keeping the acceleator pedal opening degree constant, keep the vehicle speed at 

55 

− 80km/h and travel for 16 minutes or more.

• Stopping and braking during this operation are permitted.

4. Return the vehicle to the shop, then turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Procedure 3

READINESS TEST STATUS

The engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> 
monitors the following main diagnosis items, judges 
if these items are in good condition or not, and the 
stores its history. this history can be read out by 
using MUT-III. (If the ECU has judged a item before, 
the MUT-III displays "Complete").

In addition, if diagnosis codes are erased or the 
battery cable is disconnected, this history will also be 
erased (the memory will be reset).

• Catalyst: P0421, P0431

• Oxygen sensor: P0130, P0136, P0150, P0156

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION REFERENCE TABLE

When the main sensor malfunctions are detected by the diagnosis function, the vehicle is controlled by 
means of the pre-set control logic to maintain safe conditions for driving.
