Two Trip Detection Logic
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Nissan Sentra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, it is stored in the ECM memory as a 1st trip DTC (diagnostic trouble code) or 1st trip freeze frame data. At this point, the MIL will not illuminate. - First Trip If the same malfunction as that experienced during the first test drive is sensed during the second test drive, the MIL will illuminate. - Second Trip
A/T-related parts for which the MIL illuminates during the first or second test drive are listed below.
The trip in the One or Two Trip Detection Logic means a driving mode in which self-diagnosis is performed during vehicle operation.
