This bulletin supercedes TSB0013005, to update the OBDII drive cycle procedures. New information is indicated by " .

PURPOSE
" Since January 2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that vehicles must have all OBDII Readiness Codes complete at the time of an I/M test (smog check). States with I/M programs are not required to use OBDII inspection, and can use tailpipe inspections, but EPA encourages using OBDII. Some states have less stringent air quality requirements or localized programs. Many states already have OBDII I/M programs in place, and more are added every year. Refer to the web site www.obdclearinghouse.com to identify states that currently have an OBDII I/M program in place. During the OBDII drive cycle, the OBDII system checks each emission control system by monitoring it for proper operation. It is necessary to run the OBDII drive cycle: D To confirm that a fuelrelated or emissionrelated diagnostic trouble code (DTC) repair was successful. D If the vehicles I/M test results indicate that the OBDII Readiness Monitors are incomplete. " Instructions in this bulletin describe how to drive the vehicle to complete the oxygen sensor monitor, EGR monitor, catalyst monitor, Evaporative Emission Control purge flow monitor, and Evaporative Emission Control (Strict) System Leak (EVAP) monitor. All of these monitors except the Strict Evap must be completed on the first drive cycle. After that, when each monitor is completed on the next drive cycle, the scan tool Readiness Test screen will display the monitor as complete (CMP). If none of the OBDII monitors show Complete, the technician may want to choose Increased Sensitivity mode on the scan tool and follow the drive cycles for completing Readiness. This will help to confirm that all monitors will run and Complete during one drive cycle. The Increased Sensitivity mode is for testing purposes only, and will erase all Readiness when exiting from this mode or turning the ignition to OFF. This bulletin contains: S OBDII drive cycle procedures for 199698 affected vehicles only (Refer to the appropriate service manual for 1998 and later model OBDII drive cycle procedures.) S Warranty claim information for OBDII drive cycle on all affected vehicles. NOTE: On 199697 V6 models, after all Readiness codes are complete, turning the ignition off will cause all the Readiness status readings to show incomplete (INCMP). This may require that an I/M test be performed before the ignition key is turned off, or the technician can complete all but the catalyst monitor before returning the vehicle to the customer for I/M testing.

PROCEDURE (19961998 AFFECTED VEHICLES ONLY)

For 1998 and later models, refer to Group 13 in the appropriate service manual, under OBDII Drive Cycle. This procedure requires two people in the vehicle during the drive cycle. One person must drive within the drive cycle parameters CAUTION while the other person reads the scan tool (MUTII or MUTIII). IMPORTANT: In order to carry out the OBDII drive cycle, the ambient temperature must be higher than 10 degrees C (14 degrees F), and all electrical components must be turned off. " The following instructions describe how to drive the vehicle to complete the oxygen sensor monitor, EGR monitor, catalyst monitor, Evaporative Emission Control purge flow monitor, and Evaporative Emission Control (Strict) System Leak (EVAP) monitor. All of these monitors except the Strict Evap must be completed on the first drive cycle. After that, when each monitor is completed on the next drive cycle, the scan tool Readiness Test screen will display the monitor as complete (CMP). Refer to the chart on page 7 to determine the vehicles type of evaporative emission control monitor. S On vehicles with purge flow evaporative emission control monitor, the purge flow monitor must be completed first during the first and second drive cycles. S On vehicles with strict evaporative emission control monitor, the strict evap monitor should be completed first after the first drive cycle is completed because it requires a cold start. S If all of these monitors (Readiness Tests) are incomplete (INCMP) on the scan tool status screen before you begin the drive cycle, the scan tool will not indicate any change in their status during the first drive cycle. S If any of the monitors are already complete, then all of the monitors have been completed at least once. Before you begin the drive cycle, check the scan tool Readiness Test status screen frequently while driving. Watch for the status to change to complete (CMP). 1. With the ignition switch off, connect the scan tool. Check for any DTCs. If any are present, note the DTC(s), then clear all DTCs from the PCM memory. 2. Turn the ignition on, and observe the Readiness Test status on the scan tool by following the scan tool selection sequence below: 1. SYSTEM SELECT MFI MITSUBISHI MFI 1. READINESS TEST PRESS YES KEY 1. READINESS TESTS YES YES YES YES YES

The Readiness Test status is displayed on the scan tool. Perform those Readiness Tests (Monitors) which are incomplete (INCMP). NOTE: On the first drive cycle, perform all monitor drive cycles within the same key cycle. (Do not turn the engine off and back on between drive cycles.)

IMPORTANT: Refer to the chart on page 7 to identify the type of evaporative emission control monitor used on the vehicle. Use the appropriate evaporative emission control monitor (Strict Evap or Purge Flow). 3. Evaporative Emission Control Monitor a. Strict Evap Leak Monitor This monitor must be completed after the first drive cycle is completed, and within 16 minutes after initial engine startup. This monitor is controlled by a timer in the PCM, which enables the monitor to run for only 16 minutes. The following conditions must be met for this monitor: S Engine coolant temperature 30 degrees C (86 degrees F) or less (COLD START) S Ambient temperature 530 degrees C (4186 degrees F) S A/T select lever in D range, with Overdrive switch ON S Fuel tank 3050% full is recommended After initial startup, immediately begin driving on level ground (no hills) at approximately 55 mph. Do not rapidly accelerate or decelerate. Do not turn corners or change lanes. If fuel sloshing occurs, this monitor must be restarted. b. Purge Flow Monitor

" "

If this procedure is started just after the other monitors are completed, stop the vehicle and allow to idle for 5 minutes at the conditions listed below. If this procedure is started with the ignition key turned to OFF, start the engine and wait for the coolant temperature to reach over 180 degrees F. Then drive the vehicle at more than 20 mph for 120 seconds. Then stop the vehicle and allow to idle for 5 minutes at the conditions listed below. Vehicle conditions must be: S Shift lever in Park or Neutral S No electrical load (A/C, fan and all accessories are off. ) Do not apply brake pedal. S Steering wheel is at center. Scan tool readings must be: S IAC valve position stable between 10 and 30 steps. S Closed loop S TPS approximately 0.5 (idle switch is ON) S Engine coolant temperature greater than 170 degrees F
