Cyclic Monitoring
Systems monitored once per driving cycle will only result in a fault being registered after the corresponding operating conditions have been completed. Therefore, there is no possibility for checking when the engine is started up briefly and then shut down.
The following are monitored once per driving cycle:
- Oxygen Sensor Function
- Secondary Air Injection System
- Catalytic Converter Function (efficiency)
- Evaporative Vapor Recovery System
Due to the complexity involved in meeting the test criteria within the defined driving cycle, all tests may not be completed within one "customer driving cycle". The test can be successfully completed within the defined criteria, however customer driving styles may differ and therefore may not always monitor all involved components/systems in one "trip".
