EXPLANATION FOR DRIVING PATTERNS FOR ªMISFIRE 
NLEC0033S04Driving Pattern BNLEC0033S0401Driving pattern B means the vehicle operation as follows:
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 malfunction.
+The MI will go off when the B counter reaches 3. (*2 in EC-78)
Driving Pattern CNLEC0033S0402Driving pattern C means the vehicle operation as follows:
1) The following conditions should be satisfied at the same time:
Engine speed: (Engine speed in the freeze frame data)±375 rpm
Calculated load value: (Calculated load value in the freeze frame data)´(1±0.1) [%]
Engine coolant temperature (T) condition:
+When the freeze frame data shows lower than 70ÉC (158ÉF), ªTº should be lower than 70ÉC (158ÉF).
+When the freeze frame data shows higher than or equal to 70ÉC (158ÉF), ªTº should be higher than or
equal to 70ÉC (158ÉF).
Example:
If the stored freeze frame data is as follows:
Engine speed: 850 rpm, Calculated load value: 30%, Engine coolant temperature: 80ÉC (176ÉF)
To be satisfied with driving pattern C, the vehicle should run under the following conditions:
Engine speed: 475 - 1,225 rpm, Calculated load value: 27 - 33%, Engine coolant temperature: more than 70ÉC
(158ÉF)
+The C counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected regardless of driving pattern C.
+The C counter will be counted up when driving pattern C is satisfied without the same malfunction.
+The DTC will not be displayed after C counter reaches 80.
+The 1st trip DTC will be cleared when C counter is counted once without the same malfunction after DTC
is stored in ECM.
