I recently did a lot of work on my 2006 S-Type 3.0 and it runs great. However, I need to complete the evaporative system drive cycle so the vehicle can be inspected for emissions. On-board diagnostics guide for my car (attached in case someone needs it...) refers TSB 021210 for evaporative system monitor drive cycle info.

I do not have access to TSB021210, but I did come across the following list of steps posted on https://www.obd-codes.com/jaguar-drive-cycle:



Could someone familiar with the procedure comment of whether above steps are relevant to 2006 S-Type 3.0? If not, perhaps someone has a copy of TSB 021210 They can share?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

That does not look like a Jaguar TSB ref.

I would not clear DTCs as it clears all OBD monitors and sets you back to step zero.

Two threads essentially about the same issue are confusing!!!

Laymens terms:

Fuel level between 1/4 to 3/4 full. 1/2 tank ideal.

Engine must not been run for previous 10 - 12 hours and must be cold.

Ambient temp must be above 40 deg F.

Start car and immediately drive.

Get to a long stretch of road preferably a highway.

Once engine is at temp drive steady between 45 - 55mph for about 3 - 5 mins.

Then increase speed to 55 - 65 mph. Keeping throttle steady (no cruise control) for another 10 - 12 mins.

Come to a stop when conditions allow, let engine idle for 60 seconds then shut car off.

 

abanano - thanks.

Ah yes, sorry. It's a most odd TSB ref.
