Innova 3210RS: When to Perform a Drive Cycle

Purpose

To provide steps on when to perform a Drive Cycle Procedure when using the Innova 3210RS.

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 Check Engine.

• After pairing with the RS2 app, select Check Engine. 

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.

Step 4 - View the Report Page.

• The Report Page will appear after the mobile app is done generating reports. Do the following according to the scan results:
  • If the Scan Results do not show Trouble Code Results, you do not need to perform a Drive Cycle Procedure.
  • If the Scan Results show Trouble Code Results, you must perform a Drive Cycle Procedure. To know how to perform a complete drive cycle, visit the Complete Drive Cycle Procedures link.
