Innova 1000: When to Perform a Drive Cycle

Purpose

To provide steps on when to perform a Drive Cycle Procedure when using the Innova 1000.

Introduction

When a vehicle has incomplete Readiness Monitors, a Drive Cycle Procedure must be performed. This means that 1 or more of the vehicle's Readiness Monitors are incomplete, and still testing for potential check engine codes. The Readiness Monitors are listed below:

Continuous MonitorsCopy link

MIS - Misfire
FUE - Fuel System
CCM - Comprehensive Component

Non-Continuous Monitors (Gas)Copy link

EVA - Evap System
02S - Oxygen Sensor
HTR - Oxygen Sensor Heater
EGR and/or VVT System- Exhaust Gas Recirculation and Variable Valve Timing
CAT - Catalyst
HCAT - Heated Catalyst
AIR - Secondary Air System

Non-Continuous Monitors (Diesel)Copy link

PM - PM Filter
DPF - Diesel Particle Filter
EGR and/or VVT System - Exhaust Gas Recirculation and Variable Valve Timing
BP - Boost Pressure
NOx/SCR - Oxides of Nitrogen/Selective Catalytic Reduction Systems
NMHC - Non-Methane Hydrocarbon Catalyst
EGS - Exhaust Gas Sensor

These monitors are not directly shown, but you will know if there are errors within these monitors if a failing result shows after you perform a scan.

To know if you need to perform a drive cycle, follow the steps below:

Step 1 - Select Whole System.

After pairing with the RS2 app, you need to perform a Whole System scan in the Home menu.

Select Whole System to scan all modules and systems.

Step 2 - Wait until the RS2 app reads the data from your vehicle.

The RS2 app will read the data from your vehicle, including the odometer.

Step 3 - Select Generate Report.

After your vehicle's odometer is read by the RS2 app, select Generate Report.

While generating the report, ensure your vehicle is turned to the ON position, and your smart device is close to your dongle.

Once the report is generated, a Done message will show on the screen.

Note: Your vehicle’s odometer mileage should automatically be recorded in the Odometer field.

Step 4 - View the Report Page.

The Report Page will appear after the mobile app is done generating reports. Do the following according to the scan results:

If the Scan Results show PASS, you do not need to perform a Drive Cycle Procedure.
If the Scan Results show Trouble Code Results, you must perform a Drive Cycle Procedure. To know how to perform a complete drive cycle, visit the Complete Drive Cycle Procedures link.

Note: If trouble codes are still present after a Drive Cycle, you need to troubleshoot the issue to have a PASS result after a scan.
