painful but this is what it takes to get to DTC P1111 ( all systems go) I drove my car 800 km (8 hours)yesterday on the highway only (not muchcity driving) after erasing all codes, I started with the P1000 and just checked now, still P1000 - waiting for one of the below to be finished before getting a P1111 my code reader shows each test below. For sure the dealer knows all this and they know what drive cycle they are doing. It is just so complicated that they dont explain the whole thing to customers.

FROM JTIS : [font=univers-light][size=1][align=left]The Engine Management and Transmission Control systems are continuously checked during vehicle operation by the Engine Control Module (ECM) and Transmission[/align][align=left]Control Module (TCM) on-board diagnostic (OBD) facilities. Powertrain OBD incorporates six diagnostic monitors. Each monitor has an associated group of DTCs. The[/align][align=left]diagnostic monitors will complete the diagnostic test(s) if a specified service “drive cycle” is carried out.[/align][align=left]The six diagnostic monitors are as follows:[/align][align=left]– Heated Oxygen Sensors Monitor[/align][align=left]– Adaptive Fuel Monitor[/align][align=left]– Misfire Monitor[/align][align=left]– Catalyst Efficiency Monitor[/align][align=left]– Evaporative System Monitor[/align]– Comprehensive Component Monitor (Engine Management / Transmission)
[align=left]DIAGNOSTIC MONITORS DRIVE CYCLES[/align][align=left]Technicians can ensure that an OBD Monitor drive cycle is completed and that all or specific components have been checked by completing a specified drive cycle.[/align][align=left]Use the following service drive cycles to confirm that the components and subsystems covered by the Diagnostic Monitors are operating correctly.[/align][align=left]HEATED OXYGEN SENSORS MONITOR DRIVE CYCLE[/align][align=left]Upstream (Universal) oxygen sensors:[/align][align=left]1 Engine OFF; cooling fans inoperative > 20 seconds.[/align][align=left]2 Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature > 82 °C (180 °F).[/align][align=left]3 Drive the vehicle between 3000 – 4000 rpm at a steady speed.

If the valve is not[/align][align=left]active, ECM adaptions have not been learned. Conduct a “green ECM” Drive Cycle as described in Technical Service Bulletin.[/align][align=left]6 Drive vehicle to the road where the EVAP System Drive Cycle will be conducted.

I thought someone was looking for this info.. guess not.

 

My 02 had a recall to replace the module that runs the turnsignal.. ( and many other things) the defect was not very serious, there were times when the bulb was burned out and the dash indicator would work normally. The drive would never know he had a burned out bulb.

I dont think that you specific problem is part of the recall... but if your car is due to be done.... then get it done.. you get a new turn signal module and that may solve your problem

I dont know what your communication issue is. I dont understand why the dealer cant get to the bottom of it. Seems to me that is what they do for a living?
