Turn off the engine (key in the OFF position).Ģnd method (Hyundai car that wasn't working with regular cycle):.Accelerate within 15 seconds to 50-55 mph (using 1/4 to 3/4 throttle) and keep this speed steady for 10 to 20 minutes.Idle engine then idle in Drive for 1 to 2 minutes.Accelerate within 15 seconds to 50-55 mph (using 1/4 to 3/4 throttle) and keep this speed steady for 2 to 3 minutes.Any faults founds need to be repaired first. Use a scan tool to check for OBD II trouble codes. Make sure check engine light is not on and that there are no stored trouble codes in the computer.I've done a few cycles like this, but actually more intense, and they didn't work. I do have an OBD! I wouldn't even try this without it, would never know if it worked, lol. Also, I’ve seen cars that got several hundred miles on a drive cycle before they passed, uncommon, but not unheard of. (Check with your local shop for your states guidelines). Also most states pass you if there is only 1 monitor not ready, so if you get one trigger you’re probably good to go.
Don’t let the battery die or disconnect it you’ll be back at square one with a fully reset OBD system. (Remember coasting, no brakes if possible). Cruise control and keep it there a few more minutes.Ĭut off the cruise down to 20 if you can do it safely. Hit the cruise and leave it there for a few minutes.Īccelerate gently back to 55. Turn on the headlights and the A/C and rear defroster. Make sure you have at least 1/2 tank of gas. They are pretty inexpensive for an entry model ($30?)įind a nice long stretch of open highway. Hopefully you have an OBD reader plugged in to check the codes while you drive, if not I highly recommend getting one.
