Customer Drive Cycle For Profile Correction (60-40 Mph Deceleration)

This method was the traditional method for profile correction learning until the introduction of Neutral Profile Correction. It is now only used as a backup method

To prevent any fueling or combustion differences from affecting the correction factors, learning is done during deceleration fuel shut off (DFSO). This can be done during closed throttle, non-braking, defueled decelerations in the 97 to 64 km/h (60 to 40 MPH) range after exceeding 97 km/h (60 MPH) (likely to correspond to a freeway exit condition). In order to minimize the learning time for the correction factors, a more aggressive DFSO strategy may be used when the conditions for learning are present. The corrections are typically learned in a single 97 to 64 km/h (60 to 40 MPH) deceleration, but may take up to 3 such decelerations or a higher number of shorter decelerations. If the software is unable to learn a profile after three, 97 to 64 km/h (60 to 40 MPH) deceleration cycles, DTC P0315 is set.

MISFIRE MONITOR OPERATION

DTCs P0300 to P0310 (general and specific cylinder misfire)
P1336 (noisy crank sensor, no cam/crank synchronization)
P0315 (unable to learn profile)
P0316 (misfire during first 1, 000 revs after start-up)
P0313 (misfire detected with low fuel level)
Monitor execution Continuous, misfire rate calculated every 200 or 1000 revs
Monitor Sequence None
Sensors OK CKP, CMP, MAF, ECT/CHT
Monitoring Duration Entire driving cycle (see disablement conditions below)

The profile learning operation includes DTC P0315 if profile correction factors are not learned. On selected vehicles, this code is set immediately after a new PCM is installed until the scan tool procedure for Neutral Profile Correction is completed. On all other vehicles, this code is set if profile learning does not complete during the Customer Drive Cycle for Profile Correction.

Monitor Execution Once per profile learning sequence.
Monitor Sequence Profile must be learned before misfire monitor is active.
