The execution of diagnostic tests may be bound by conditions which must comprehend a "Warm-up cycle." A "Warm-up cycle" consists of engine start-up and vehicle operation such that the coolant temperature has risen greater than 40°F from start-up temperature and reached a minimum temperature of 160°F. If this condition is not met during the ignition cycle, the diagnostic may not run.
