Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin. Manual - part 100

DRIVE CYCLE

Performing the running test of the car using the following five drive cycle patterns makes it possible to
monitor all the diagnosis codes that are required for operation of the car in order to determine if the
applicable system is operating properly or not.
In other words, doing such a drive allows to regenerate any kind of trouble which involves illuminating the
Engine Warning Lamp (Check Engine Lamp) and to verify the repair procedure has eliminated the trouble
[the Engine Warning 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.
