Innova 1000: When to Perform a Drive Cycle

Introduction

When a vehicle has incomplete Readiness Monitors, a Drive Cycle Procedure must be performed. This means that 1 or more of the vehicle's Readiness Monitors are incomplete, and still testing for potential check engine codes. The Readiness Monitors are listed below:

Continuous Monitors

  • MIS - Misfire
  • FUE - Fuel System
  • CCM - Comprehensive Component

Non-Continuous Monitors (Gas)

  • EVA - Evap System
  • 02S - Oxygen Sensor
  • HTR - Oxygen Sensor Heater
  • EGR and/or VVT System- Exhaust Gas Recirculation and Variable Valve Timing
  • CAT - Catalyst
  • HCAT - Heated Catalyst
  • AIR - Secondary Air System

Non-Continuous Monitors (Diesel)

  • PM - PM Filter
  • DPF - Diesel Particle Filter
  • EGR and/or VVT System - Exhaust Gas Recirculation and Variable Valve Timing
  • BP - Boost Pressure
  • NOx/SCR - Oxides of Nitrogen/Selective Catalytic Reduction Systems
  • NMHC - Non-Methane Hydrocarbon Catalyst
  • EGS - Exhaust Gas Sensor

These monitors are not directly shown, but you will know if there are errors within these monitors if a failing result shows after you perform a scan. 

To know if you need to perform a drive cycle, follow the steps below:

Step 1 - Select Engine.

  • Select Engine to scan for all check engine codes. 

Step 2 - Wait until the RS2 app reads the data from your vehicle.

  • The RS2 app will read the data from your vehicle, including the odometer.

Step 3 - Select Generate Report.

  • After your vehicle's odometer is read by the RS2 app, select Generate Report.

  • While generating the report, ensure your vehicle is turned to the ON position, and your smart device is close to your dongle.

    Once the report is generated, a Done message will show on the screen.

Note: Your vehicle’s odometer mileage should automatically be recorded in the odometer field.

Step 4 - View the Report Page.

The Report Page will display after the app is done generating reports. Do the following according to the scan results:

  • Any codes that are "Pending" require a drive cycle procedure to be performed to finish testing. The vehicle may have potential confirmed check engine codes.
  • Incomplete Readiness Monitors require a drive cycle procedure to be performed to finish testing for potential codes.
