SRT Set Timing

NOTE: SRT can be set as "CMPLT" together with the DTC(s). Therefore, DTC check must always be carried out prior to the state emission inspection even though the SRT indicates "CMPLT".

The SRT is set as "CMPLT" after self-diagnosis has been performed one or more times. Completion of SRT is done regardless of whether the result is OK or NG. The set timing is different between OK and NG results and is shown in the SRT set timing table. See Fig 1 .

When all SRT related self-diagnoses showed OK results in a single cycle (Ignition OFF-ON-OFF), the SRT will indicate "CMPLT". See Case 1 in Fig 1 . When all SRT related self-diagnoses showed OK results through several different cycles, the SRT will indicate "CMPLT" at the time the respective self-diagnoses have at least one OK result. See Case 2 in Fig 1 . If one or more SRT related self-diagnoses showed NG results in 2 consecutive cycles, the SRT will also indicate "CMPLT". See Case 3 in Fig 1 .

The table in Fig 1 shows that the minimum number of cycles for setting SRT as "INCMP" is one for each self-diagnosis. See (Case 1 and 2), or 2 for one of self-diagnoses. See (Case 3). However, in preparation for the state emissions inspection, it is unnecessary for each self-diagnosis to be executed twice (Case 3) for the following reasons:

  • The SRT will indicate "CMPLT" at the time the respective self-diagnoses have one OK result.
  • The emissions inspection requires "CMPLT" of the SRT only with OK self-diagnosis results.
  • When, during SRT driving pattern, 1st trip DTC (NG) is detected prior to "CMPLT" of SRT, the self-diagnosis memory must be erased from ECM after repair.
  • If the 1st trip DTC is erased, all the SRT will indicate "INCMP".
