Road Test - Adaptive Drive Cycle

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner according to driving conditions and obey all traffic laws.
  1. Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
  2. NOTE: Disconnecting the battery will not clear the Keep Alive Memory (KAM).
    NOTE: Do not clear the PCM KAM.
  3. Using the scan tool, clear the adaptive table before conducting an adaptive drive cycle test.
  4. Verify the transmission fluid is at normal operating temperature, between 91°-102°C (195°-215°F). If the transmission fluid is not at operating temperature, drive the vehicle until the operating temperature is reached.
  5. NOTE: The transmission fluid must be at operating temperature before proceeding to this step.
  6. Drive the vehicle on a level road surface performing the adaptive drive cycle.

    2. Gently brake and bring the vehicle to a stop and hold the brake for 6 seconds.
    3. Repeat substeps 1 and 2 an additional 5 times.
    4. Accelerate from a stop with light throttle so the 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 shifts occur with engine RPM between 1, 700-2, 000.
    5. Continue accelerating until the vehicle speed reaches 80 km/h (50 mph) or the 5-6 upshift is reached.
