OBD System Operation ChartNBS004SP
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MIL, 1ST TRIP DTC, DTC, AND DETECTABLE ITEMS
When a malfunction is detected for the first time, the 1st trip DTC and the 1st trip freeze frame data are
stored in the ECM memory.
When the same malfunction is detected in two consecutive trips, the DTC and the freeze frame data are
stored in the ECM memory, and the MIL will come on. For details, refer to EC-54, "
Two Trip Detection
Logic" .
The MIL will go off after the vehicle is driven 3 times (driving pattern B) with no malfunction. The drive is
counted only when the recorded driving pattern is met (as stored in the ECM). If another malfunction
occurs while counting, the counter will reset.
The DTC and the freeze frame data will be stored until the vehicle is driven 40 times (driving pattern A)
without the same malfunction recurring (except for Misfire and Fuel Injection System). For Misfire and
Fuel Injection System, the DTC and freeze frame data will be stored until the vehicle is driven 80 times
(driving pattern C) without the same malfunction recurring. The “TIME” in “SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
RESULTS” mode of CONSULT-II will count the number of times the vehicle is driven.
The 1st trip DTC is not displayed when the self-diagnosis results in OK for the 2nd trip.
SUMMARY CHART
For details about patterns B and C under “Fuel Injection System” and “Misfire”, see EC-74, "EXPLANATION FOR DRIVING PATTERNS
FOR “MISFIRE ”, “FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM”" .

freeze frame data will be cleared at
the moment OK is detected.
*7: When the same malfunction is
detected in the 2nd trip, the 1st trip
freeze frame data will be cleared.*8: 1st trip DTC will be cleared when
vehicle is driven once (pattern C)
without the same malfunction after
DTC is stored in ECM.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
EXPLANATION FOR DRIVING PATTERNS FOR “MISFIRE TION>”, “FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM”

Driving 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 MIL will go off when the B counter reaches 3. (*2 in “OBD SYSTEM OPERATION CHART”)

Driving pattern C means the vehicle operation as follows:
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) x (1
0.1) [%]
Engine coolant temperature (T) condition:
When the freeze frame data shows lower than 70C (158F), T should be lower than 70C (158F).
When the freeze frame data shows higher than or equal to 70C (158F), T should be higher than or equal
to 70
C (158F).
Example:
If the stored freeze frame data is as follows:
Engine speed: 850 rpm, Calculated load value: 30%, Engine coolant temperature: 80
C (176F)
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 70
C
(158
F)
The C counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected regardless of vehicle conditions above.
The C counter will be counted up when vehicle conditions above 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.

EXPLANATION FOR DRIVING PATTERNS EXCEPT FOR “MISFIRE DETERIORATION>”, “FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM”

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 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 malfunctions.
The MIL will go off when the B counter reaches 3 (*2 in OBD SYSTEM OPERATION CHART).
