took my 2002 x type to emission passed every thing but it failed the readiness test it said on board computer is not ready to determine the status of pollution does any one know where i can get infor on completing the drive cycle test the tags are expired so i need to come up with something to get it reading with out having to drive it 150 miles?
Thanks

 

You can just drive and eventually all OnBoard Monitoring test will complete .........
......... OR you can do systematic 'Drive Cycles' to complete them in minimum time and mileage.

Here are the complete 'drive cycle' procedures for each of the OnBoard Monitoring Tests. Use the appropriate cycle(s) to prepare the vehicle for test.

OBD DIAGNOSTIC MONITORS
The six diagnostic monitors are:
1. Heated Oxygen Sensors Monitor
2. Adaptive Fuel Monitor
3. Misfire Monitor
4. Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
5. Evaporative System Monitor
6. Comprehensive Component Monitor (Engine Management / Transmission)


1. HEATED OXYGEN SENSORS MONITOR DRIVE CYCLE
Upstream (Universal) oxygen sensors:
1. Engine OFF; cooling fans inoperative > 20 seconds.
2. Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature > 82 °C (180 °F).
3. Drive the vehicle between 3000 – 4000 rpm at a steady speed. Lift foot completely off accelerator and coast to a stop within 30 seconds. Do not touch accelerator pedal for 4 seconds after coming to a stop.
4. Repeat step 3.
5. Idle engine for 11 minutes.

Downstream oxygen sensors:
1. Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature > 82 °C (180 °F).
2. Drive the vehicle steadily between 48 – 97 km/h (30 – 60 mph) for 10 minutes.
3. Drive the vehicle above 3000 rpm in 4th gear at a steady speed. Lift foot completely off accelerator and coast for 30 seconds.

Oxygen sensor heaters:
1. Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature > 82 °C (180 °F).
2. Idle engine for 3 minutes.

2. ADAPTIVE FUEL MONITOR DRIVE CYCLE
1. Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature > 82 °C (180 °F).
2. Idle for a minimum of 10 minutes.

3. MISFIRE MONITOR DRIVE CYCLE
1. Record flagged DTC (s) and accompanying WDS DTC Monitor freeze frame(s) data.
2. Fuel level > 25%.
3. Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature > 82 °C (180 °F).
4. Drive vehicle to the recorded freeze frame conditions (from step 1).
5. Repeat several times.

Note regarding misfire monitor DTCs:
If on the first trip, the misfire is severe enough to cause excess exhaust emission, the individual cylinder DTC plus DTC P1316 will be logged. The CHECK ENGINE MIL will not be activated. If the fault reoccurs on the second trip, the individual cylinder DTC plus DTC P1316 will be flagged and the CHECK ENGINE MIL will be activated.

If on the first trip, the misfire is severe enough to cause catalyst damage (more severe than excess exhaust emission), the CHECK ENGINE MIL will flash while the fault is present and the individual cylinder DTC plus DTC P1313 (bank 1), DTC P1314 (bank 2) will be logged. When the fault is no longer present the MIL will be deactivated.

If the fault reoccurs on the second trip, the CHECK ENGINE MIL will flash while the fault is present and the individual cylinder DTC plus DTC P1313 (bank 1), DTC P1314 (bank 2) will be flagged. When the fault is no longer present the CHECK ENGINE MIL will be activated.

4. CATALYST EFFICIENCY MONITOR DRIVE CYCLE
1. Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature > 82 °C (180 °F).
2. Drive vehicle steadily between 1700 – 2500 rpm for 5 minutes.

5. EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM MONITOR DRIVE CYCLE
1. Ensure that fuel filler cap is fully closed (minimum three clicks).
2. Fuel level > 30% and < 85%.
3. Using WDS, perform ECM DTC Clear (even if no DTCs are flagged).
4. Drive vehicle for a minimum of 2 minutes, and until engine is at normal operating temperature.
5. Using WDS, ensure that the EVAP Canister Purge Valve is operating by observing “PURGE VAPOR MANAGEMENT VALVE – DUTY CYCLE”. If the valve is not active, ECM adaptions have not been learned. Conduct a “green ECM” Drive Cycle as described in Technical Service Bulletin.
6. Drive vehicle to the road where the EVAP System Drive Cycle will be conducted. Stop vehicle and switch OFF the ignition. Leave ignition OFF for 30 seconds then restart the engine.
7. Accelerate briskly to 80 km/h (50 mph) ensuring that the engine speed reaches a minimum of 3500 rpm for a minimum of 5 seconds.
8. (0.040 inch EVAP Test) View WDS “PURGE VAPOR MANAGEMENT VALVE – DUTY CYCLE”, “CANISTER CLOSE VALVE – VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM”, and FUEL TANK PRESSURE – VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM”. Avoiding high engine loads, drive the vehicle steadily between 65 km/h (40 mph) and 100 km/h (60 mph). Avoid driving conditions that will produce excessive fuel movement. WDS should give an indication that the test is active (it may take up to 30 minutes before the test will initialize). When the test has initialized (EVAP Canister Close Valve CLOSED), it will take approximately 90 seconds for the test to complete.
9. (0.020 inch EVAP Test) Continue driving vehicle as explained in Step 8 for an additional 10 minutes.
10. Gently coast the vehicle to a stop. Allow the engine to idle for 2 minutes and view WDS “PURGE VAPOR MANAGEMENT VALVE – DUTY CYCLE”, “CANISTER
CLOSE VALVE – VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM”, and FUEL TANK PRESSURE – VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM”. WDS should give an indication that the test is active. When the test has initialized (EVAP Canister Close Valve CLOSED), it will take approximately 90 seconds for the test to complete.
11. If the 0.020 inch EVAP Test is not activated, the purge system vapor concentration may be too great. To reduce the vapor concentration proceed as follows:
12. Drive the vehicle for an additional 30 minutes avoiding driving conditions that will produce excessive fuel movement. Repeat Step 10. If the 0.020 inch EVAP Test is still not activated, repeat the Drive Cycle from Step 6.
13. Using WDS, check for and clear flagged DTCs.

6. COMPREHENSIVE COMPONENT MONITOR ENGINE MANAGEMENT DRIVE CYCLE
To avoid unnecessary complexity, a single comprehensive engine management drive cycle has not developed for X-TYPE. Refer to the individual DTC for specific drive cycle / monitoring conditions.
