ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM

Explanation for Driving Patterns Except for “Misfire <Exhaust Quality Deterioration>”, “Fuel Injection System”

<Driving Pattern A>

• The A counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected regardless of (1) - (4).
• The A counter will be counted up when (1) - (4) are satisfied without the same malfunction.
• The DTC will not be displayed after the A counter reaches 40.
<Driving Pattern B>
Driving pattern B means operating vehicle as per the following:
All components and systems should be monitored at least once by the OBD system.
• The B counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected once regardless of the driving pattern.
• The B counter will be counted up when driving pattern B is satisfied without any malfunctions.
• The MIL will turn off when the B counter reaches 3 (*2 in OBD SYSTEM OPERATION CHART).

CONSULT-III Function

INFOID:0000000005536527

FUNCTION

*: The following emission-related diagnostic information is cleared when the ECM memory is erased.

• Diagnostic trouble codes

• 1st trip diagnostic trouble codes

• Freeze frame data

*4: The DTC and the freeze frame data 

will not be displayed any longer after 
vehicle is driven 40 times (pattern A) 
without the same malfunction.
(The DTC and the freeze frame data 
still remain in ECM.)

*5: When a malfunction is detected for 

the 1st time, the 1st trip DTC and the 
1st trip freeze frame data will be 
stored in ECM.

*6: 1st trip DTC will be cleared after vehi-

cle is driven once (pattern B) without 
the same malfunction.

*7: When the same malfunction is de-

tected in the 2nd trip, the 1st trip 
freeze frame data will be cleared.

Diagnostic test mode

Function

Work Support

This mode enables a technician to adjust some devices faster and more accurately by following the in-
dications on the CONSULT-III unit.

Self Diagnostic Result

Self-diagnostic results such as 1st trip DTC, DTCs and 1st trip freeze frame data or freeze frame data 
can be read and erased quickly.*

Data Monitor

Input/Output data in the ECM can be read.

Active Test

Diagnostic Test Mode in which CONSULT-III drives some actuators apart from the ECM and also shifts 
some parameters in a specified range.

DTC & SRT Confirmation

The status of system monitoring tests and the self-diagnosis status/results can be confirmed.

Function Test

This mode is used to inform customers when the vehicle requires periodic maintenance.
