Drive Cycle

A drive cycle is a method of driving a vehicle to verify a driveability symptom or its repair. It can also be a method of driving a vehicle to initiate and complete a specific OBD-II monitor. A drive cycle may be done in the service bay or may require specific drive modes such as a number of idle periods, steady vehicle speed per time, accelerations at certain throttle angles, etc.
