• While performing the Drive Mode, always operate the vehicle in a safe and lawful manner.
• When the M-MDS is used to observe monitor system status while driving, be sure to have another technician with you, or record the data in the M-MDS using the PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD function and inspect later.
Note
• Vehicle speed and engine speed detected by the PCM may differ from that indicated by the speedometer and tachometer. Use the M-MDS to monitor vehicle speed.
• If the OBD system inspection is not completed during the Drive Mode, the following causes are considered:
― The OBD system detects the malfunction.
― The Drive Mode procedure is not completed correctly.
• Disconnecting the battery will reset the memory. Do not disconnect the battery during and after Drive Mode.
• The M-MDS can be used anytime during the drive mode course to monitor the completion of the Drive Mode. Conditions can be monitored by viewing the Mode01 Powertrain Data menu. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) TEST MODES.)
2. Verify all accessory loads (A/C, headlights, blower fan, rear window defogger) are off.
3. Drive the vehicle as shown in the graph.

*1 :MTX: accelerate in 5th gear. (accelerate to 80 km/h {50 mph} within 20 s.)/ATX: accelerate in D position. (accelerate to 80 km/h {50 mph} within 20 s.)
*2 :Accelerate in 3rd gear. (accelerate to 72 km/h {45 mph} within 15 s.)
4. To verify the completion of the drive mode, stop the vehicle and display the [Mode 1 Powertrain Data] of the ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) TEST MODES using the M-MDS.
• If the drive mode has been completed, [***RDY] (each system completed) of the PID [***SUP] (with/without support for each system monitor) item indicating YES changes from NO to YES.
― If the drive mode has not been completed, switch the ignition off and repeat the procedure from Step 3 again.
