Performing Drive Cycle

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Pickup, 2003 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2003 Ford Excursion, and 2003 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Rough road conditions may prevent certain steady state conditions and steady accelerations from validating the transmission and load-related monitors. On models with Power Take-Off (PTO), disengage PTO system before performing drive cycle.
  1. Turn ignition on, but do not crank engine until WAIT TO START indicator turns off, or 10 seconds has passed (whichever is greater).
  2. Start engine. Allow engine to idle with transmission in Park or Neutral for 40 seconds.
  3. The following conditions must be followed to run certain OBD-II monitors that require engine to be under a load. Accelerate steadily to 3rd gear (A/T) or 4th gear (M/T) and keep engine speed at 1500 RPM for 3 seconds. Accelerate steadily from 35 MPH to 65 MPH in about 15 seconds (A/T) or 11 seconds minimum (M/T). Repeat this procedure 3 times while maintaining conditions set in this step. Before proceeding, turn all accessories off and disengage TOW/HAUL.
  4. Before continuing, using scan tool, select EOT PID from PID/DATA MONITOR & RECORD menu. Ensure EOT PID value is more than 140°F (60°C). Allow engine to idle for 20 seconds in Park or Neutral. Turn ignition off. Start engine and allow engine to idle for 40 seconds in Park or Neutral. Repeat QUICK TEST . Drive cycle is complete.
  5. If DTC P1000 is present after performing drive cycle, repeat step  3 maintaining a minimum MFDES PID value of 35 milligrams/stroke with engine speed at more than 2000 RPM for 11 seconds. Also, maintain a minimum MFDES of 30 milligrams/stroke with engine speed at more than 2800 RPM for at least 6 seconds. Repeat step  4. MFDES PID value must remain less than 12 milligrams/stroke for 11 seconds.
