Readiness Drive Cycle Procedure
-- CONNECT: Scan Tool.
-- During the individual test steps, the vehicle needs to be in normal mode, except during service regeneration.
NOTE:
For automatic transmission use the manual gear selection mode, if available for the following steps.
| Step |
Procedure |
Result / Action to Take |
| 1 |
Misfire Monitoring:
- START: Engine and let idle for 20 s
|
|
| 2 |
PM Filter Monitoring:
- DRIVE: Strong acceleration phase 1500 - 3500 rpm for at least 10 s in 3rd or 4th Gear
- DRIVE: vehicle until the oxygen sensors are active (signal voltage > 0.10 V)
|
- PM Filter Monitoring Ready
|
| 3 |
EGR System Monitoring:
- DRIVE: continuous speed of 65+ mph in 5th or 6th gear, if possible with cruise ON.
- DRIVE: constant speed in 3rd gear at 1800 rpm for 20 s
- COAST: 8 s (EGR system monitoring reaches 300° C)
|
- EGR System Monitoring Ready
|
| 4 |
NMHC Catalyst Monitoring:
- START: DPF service regeneration (access authorization), DPF light must light up The vehicle must be driven approx. 5 minutes at a constant speed of 50- 70 mph, preferably with Cruise Control, avoid deceleration and coasting.
- MONITOR: PM Filter reaches > 575° C, then drive for additional 150 s, stop and idle for 60 s and continue with regeneration until DPF Lamp shuts OFF.
|
- NMHC Catalyst Monitoring Ready
|
| 5 |
NOx/SCR After-treatment (Regeneration) Monitoring:
- DRIVE: 30-40 min. at constant speed, 50-70 mph in 5 - 6th gear for 2 mins. No Coasting.
|
- NOx/SCR After-treatment (Regeneration) Monitoring Ready
|
| 6 |
Exhaust Gas Sensor Monitoring:
- DRIVE: vehicle until coolant temperature > 70° C, temperature behind diesel particulate filter > 300° C.
- IDLE: without steering movement approx. 30 s
- DRIVE: light acceleration at approx. 2500 RPM in 4th gear, rapidly take foot from gas and coast for about 10 s and repeat
- COAST: at 3000 rpm in 4th gear (min. 10 s)
- DRIVE: 30-45 min, at constant speed 50-70 mph in 5 - 6th gear.
|
- Exhaust Gas Sensor Monitoring
|
| 7 |
Boost Pressure System Monitoring:
- DRIVE: 30-45 min, at constant speed 50-70 mph in 5 - 6th gear.
|
- Boost Pressure System Monitoring Ready
|
NOTE:
Depending on the scan tool used. The readiness code status may be displayed as complete, passed or OK. At an exterior temperature < 7°C, the setting of the readiness for the NOx catalytic converter test is delayed, here the vehicle must be Driven considerably longer.
