  • If Mode 4 can not be performed because it is impossible to drive vehicle under MODE 4 condition, perform evaporative system test procedure as an alternative. See FUEL EVAPORATION (EVAP) SYSTEM - EXCEPT MPV under EMISSION SYSTEMS & SUB-SYSTEMS in SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING - MIATA, MILLENIA, MPV, PROTEGE, PROTEGE5 & 626 article.
  • Mode 4 can be performed regardless of RFCFLAG status.
  1. Verify than all following PIDs are within specification before engine is started to initiate evaporative monitoring:
    • Barometric pressure (BARO) is 21.3 IN. Hg (72 kPa).
    • Intake Air Temperature (IAT) is 14-140°F (-10-60°C).
    • Fuel Tank Level (FTL) PID is .24-2.0 volts.
    • Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is 14-95°F (10-35°C).
  2. Verify all accessory loads (A/C, headlights, blower fan, rear window defroster) are off.
  3. Start engine and race it at 3500 RPM until reaches normal operating temperature. Drive vehicle as shown in the graph. See Fig 1.
  4. Stop vehicle and access ON BOARD SYSTEM READINESS menu of GENERIC OBD-II FUNCTIONS to inspect completion status:
    • If completed, RFC change from NO to YES.
    • If not completed, turn ignition key off and repeat test from step 3).
  5. Access DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS menu of GENERIC OBD-II FUNCTIONS to inspect monitor results:
    • If MEAS values of 10:21:00 and 10:22:00 are within specification, repair is completed.
