    NOTE:
    • There is no given transition time between idling and cruising.
    • Driving at constant speed only on a downhill causes smaller engine load and may result in failure to obtain a right diagnostic result.
    • When the engine stops while performing drive cycle F, perform it again from the state of procedure 1).
