4 Final check:
- Clear the diagnostic trouble code.
- Implementation of driving cycle:
• Drive the car at varying engine loads and rpm
until the temperature of the coolant reaches
60°C (140° F},
or for at least 5 minutes if this temperature is
reached earlier.
• Drive the car with a steady throttle opening at
25-56mph (40-90km/h} for 4 minutes (se-
lect a gear that will keep engine speed at
2000-3000rpm}.
• Since throttle position changes should be av-
oided, as level a road as possible should be
chosen.
